I need to change permissions of files in my /media/MAVEN/Projects MAVEN is my windows disk partition.

The permissions on the Projects folder are:

:/media/MAVEN/Projects$ ls -la
\total 340
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Oct  6 21:31 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32768 Oct  9 06:32 ..

all the projects are set to drwxrwxrwx

I need to change them to 755 so I tried:

~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /media/MAVEN/Projects

But I get errors: ...Read-only file system The result of ls -la /media/MAVEN/Projects remains the same. Help me resolve this.

  • Problem solved. I found out that I was using a package that was mounting my disk as read only. Its called pysdm I disabled that feature. Cant answer my own questions until i get 10 reputation

  • I did as root: # chown techytimo /media/MAVEN/Projects chown: changing ownership of `/media/MAVEN/Projects': Read-only file system
