2 weeks ago I started having this problem where every external drive I connected to my Mac mounts as read-only, including my time machine drive. I've tried multiple potential solutions (changing permissions in the Get Info window, repairing the drives, erasing the drives) however the only that works (for my time machine drive) is the Terminal command
Anyone know any way to fix this issue?
sudo mount -u -w /Volumes/TimeMachine
. Unfortunately that's temporary as I have to put it in every time I connect the drive (and even with this command I still can't see my old backups and use the time machine UI). My other drives are formatted ExFAT and this doesn't do anything for them - I have to use terminal commands to manage files on them.Anyone know any way to fix this issue?
