[Solved] Mount USB with write access

Post#1 by **codinghusi** » 28 Aug 2019, 07:42

Hi I'm very new to porteus kiosk and it's exactly what I need

I'm working on a project for an escape room where the customers will plug in a usb and the program will automatically upload a file.
My problem is that I read that I can't mount a usb with write access. I know that the Cloud Edition can do that, but I don't want gui elements on the screen.
Is it somehow possible, e.g. remounting it with write access manually with a script?

Hello codinghusi,

How do you want to unmount the stick?

Mind there is delayed write (to mitigate flash storage wearing) so sticks must be unmounted before unplugging otherwise files may get not fully saved an corrupted.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply.
My software only needs to upload one file and can directly unmount it so there won't be a problem:)

Please use this parameter:

Code: Select all

run_command=sed -i 's/MOPT="ro"/MOPT="rw"/g' /sbin/udev-automount-disabled

Thanks
