My computer has 2 drives, I use the 2nd for file storage and the 1st for the OS. Been unable to access the 2nd's contents. I get the following message clicking on it:



Error creating mount point `/media/jay/HP_PAVILION Adjacent Reserve 1_2': Read-only file system


I read the 2011 suggestion Lekensteyn made at How to make read-only file system writable? and tried the following command on LXTerminal:



sudo mount -o remount,rw '/media/jay/HP_PAVILION Adjacent Reserve 1_2'


I got the following response:



[sudo] password for jay: 
mount: /media/jay/HP_PAVILION Adjacent Reserve 1_2: mount point does not exist.


When I try to access the shortcuts I made to folders that were on the drive, I get messages like:




The specified directory '/media/jay/HP_PAVILION Adjacent Reserve
1_2/!uTorrent completed downloads' is not valid




This is also giving me an 'error' when trying to magnet-torrent (via Transmission) the latest (18.10) version of Lubuntu which I'd like to try out.



Even downloading it normally gives an error:




could not be saved, because the disk, folder, or file is write-protected.
Write-enable the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location.




My comp also in past has spontaneously blackscreened (audio kept going) after around 20 minutes of running.



This may be related to past problems of blackscreenining on boot-up unless I do a "Resume Normal Boot" after AORMing (Advanced Options : Recover Mode) on startup.



I asked about this back in September How do I fix a frozen black screen on Lubuntu startup?



However I get so frustrated by it that I abandon the comp for months when the problems seem to accrue... I'd really like to be able to understand why it black-screened and if this is connected to why my 2nd drive was put into write-protect, and if it's connected to the black screen on startup.



Would I be better served trying out another Ubuntu OS? I don't know which is compatible with really old graphics hardware.

  • The mount error is telling you /media/jay/HP_PAVILION Adjacent Reserve 1_2 does not exist; it must already exist (as a directory) in order for you to mount a device to it. A common reason for a file-system to be read-only is because it has errors, and needs fsck (file system check)

  • Sounds like the problem is that the file system to which the 2nd drive is mounted (i.e. your OS drive) is read-only. You might want to run a SMART check.
