I don’t know when this happened. There was a system update a few days ago which went fine. Two days ago I wanted to download something onto one of my HDDs and got an I/O error. After investigating I found out that I no longer am the owner of any of my drives and can’t create/delete any files. Chmod/chown didn’t help. Editing the fstab file didn’t help since it had the exact same contens as when everything worked. Shuffeling exec,rw around has no effect. Mounting/unmounting didn’t do anything. Phisically removing the drives also didn’t work. Adding a completely new drive automatically set it to restricted. How the hell does soemthing like this happen? I don’t want to do a system wipe.

    I touhgt the same, but connecting a new drive and getting the same “read-only file system” error is really strange. I used the other drive for qbittorrent and it worked flawlessly before the update. I haven’t come around to try any of the suggestions yet. I’ll report back tonight.
