dmesg | tail gives the following output :

[ 1520.034123] EXT4-fs (sdc2): write access unavailable, cannot proceed

I am receiving this error for quite some time and i cannot find a way to remove the write protection on the disk.

  • Is this an USB drive with write-protection switch on the case? Some devices have such a small switch and if one does not know it's easy to miss them.

I have had the same problem, an you could try enter this in the terminal:

sudo umount -a
sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /media
sudo mount -a

and it might work fine this way.
