No, nothing in there. You may possibly get better information from
"cat /proc/mounts", which is the raw data from the kernel. The command
"mount" uses slightly cooked data, and is occasionally wrong under
some circumstances (unlikely here, but...).
It is possible that the device has a media error on it, and has
been remounted read-only -- check your system log file
(/var/log/syslog) to see if that's the case.
Are you sure that the uid/umask are correct? Check the permissions
on the filesystem, using ls -l.
Finally, are you trying to copy a device node to it, perhaps? That
would complain in much the same way, IIRC, as it's mounted with
"nodev" option.
Just a few thoughts,
Hugo.
