[LUGSB] read only file system

[Jared]

Greetings,

I could be wrong but I heard that its generally not a good idea to try and
write to a vfat partition from linux (or ntfs). It often corrupts your
partition and you end up with a whole slew of problems. You can probably
write as root at your discretion but thats done at your own risk.

You should be able to write to a vfat filesystem -- it probably has to
do with the way you mount it.  Is it able to write as root?
