I tested this with a USB-stick with a lock switch, a bit different error message but still the same end result.
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Error opening '/dev/sdb1': Read-only file system Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Read-only file system Steps to reproduce: 1. Create NTFS on a USB stick with write lock off 2. Remove the stick and switch the lock on 3. Insert the stick back to USB port 4. Result is the error message above -- Automatic mounting of read only ntfs partition on usb device fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
