additional hhd seems to be read only
by redcogs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YYNN)
hope this is in right place.
ive added a second hard drive for storage (its got a fresh installed 'Mint' on it I think, which I intend to remove) to my recently acquired laptop, a lenovo x230 coreboot with Debian 10 Mate as the OS. It has a 120 gig ssd, so fairly small, hence the addition of an old hhd that was laying around.
Debian 'sees' the hhd when i mount it, but I cant copy anything to it, or format it with gparted. So i assume its read only.
i was going to follow some instructions from youtube involving adding a text line to fstab, but fstab in etc doesn't seem to exist. I am floundering so hope a boffin might be along to help and advise please? :-)
