I am encountering a problem today that my pw4 is mounting read-only on my linux mint system. I have tried restarting the PW4, but that makes no difference. the mount command shows:

Code:

dhdurgee@z560:~/Downloads$ mount | grep /media/dhdurgee/Kindle
/dev/sdc on /media/dhdurgee/Kindle type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)
dhdurgee@z560:~/Downloads$

Needless to say this is causing a problem using Calibre to add books. How do I fix this?

I do have usbnet installed and can ssh to the pw4 if more information is available from there or if the fix can be done there.
