getting error on creating a file mkdir: cannot create directory ‘name’: Read-only file system

Time:06-08

I have a system of dual boot

  1. windows installed in HDD
  2. Linux installed in SSD

When I am trying to change any file say create a new folder using my Linux system in HDD mkdir name I am getting errors like mkdir: cannot create directory ‘name’: Read-only file system I have also tried to change the drive permission using chmod but failed.

CodePudding user response:

With dual boot Linux and Windows you have to disable fast boot in Windows, if you have not done it, you can do so by following these instructions:

  1. Go to "Control Panel > Power Options"

  2. To the left, click "Choose what the power buttons do."

  3. Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable."

  4. Uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" then save the changes.

  5. Done.

Control Panel is harder to get to on recent versions of Windows, it's easier to press Windows X, click "Power Options", then at the bottom click "Additional power settings".
