[LUG]Re: MicroSDXC problems

A long time ago i had a SD card lock up like this as 'read only'.

I think is was due to way I disconnected it from computer.

I have had same with a small USB sticks.

Now i close machine down before disconnecting.
No hot disconnects practised.

It may be different in your case

I have a MicroSDXC card SanDisk Ultra 128Gb and I have all my music on it. I plug this card into a small cheap music player which in turn is connected to a meaty Sony Blue Tooth speaker. Every now and then I get more music and I plug the card via an adapter into my Linux Mint desk 21 top and load the new music.

However, this time Nemo file manager says I'm not allowed as the disk is read only. When I go into properties and look at permissions I, George, am the owner with read/write privileges but that the group, George, is read only. Something has changed from about a month ago when I last copied music to the card.

I have tried copying as root. I have tried to reformat the drive with gparted but the disk refuses to change. I have tried changing permissions but it won't.

Any suggestions before I buy a new Microsd card ?
