Hi guys, I downloaded a torrent and now it's turned my all of my files to read only, I've done a search but none of them help.
Here's where it is.

~/MyDocs/Downloads $ ls
Kasabian - All Discography (Including EPs and Videos) [DrZapp]
Kasabian___All_Discography__Including_EPs_and_Vide os___DrZapp_.torrent
The Echo[2008]DvDrip-aXXo
~/MyDocs/Downloads $

It's the Kasabian that is causing the problem.
I can't download anything anymore either, it says 'not allowed'

any help would be great.

As MyDocs is vFAT usually this sounds like some corrupted mount or fs, have you tried to turn it off an on again (yeas I am ITcrowd)? What you can try is to export it to USB by picking MasstorageMode when connecting with running device. Third idea is to turn off the device and connect via USB, disconnect after 15sec. and start up again.

If that didn't help you need to go to a root shell.
You might need to install rootsh from application-manager.
Enter root to switch to root-shell
Code:
root@Cassiopeia:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs/
root@Cassiopeia:~#
next step is to check the filesystem
Code:
root@Cassiopeia:~# fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1
...
185808
190232
checked clusters: 191055
/dev/mmcblk0p1: 7115 files, 191055/442377 clusters
root@Cassiopeia:~#
if that ran through with no errors you can mount it again
Code:
root@Cassiopeia:~# mount /home/user/MyDocs/
root@Cassiopeia:~#

If all of this did not help you need to format the partition, as it is readable you can backup your stuff.

hi chemist, I haven't got a pc. This is what I got after the first command.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # root@Cassiopeia:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs/
/bin/sh: root@Cassiopeia:~#: not found
/home/user # root@Cassiopeia:~#
/bin/sh: root@Cassiopeia:~#: not found
/home/user #

You need to install a package called rootSH from extras.

Oh you're right. Sometimes I don't pay a lot of attention. I just saw root and Access denied and did 1+ 1

You did an a+1 with expecting a+1=2 but a!=1

@rokafellaskank: as you've been on the console already I thought you know your way around, my fault sorry.
Good to read that it worked!
