So I'm can read from my smartmedia card usb reader, but I can't write to it.

when linux boots up I get a message during boot when the usb-storage module is loaded that says:

sda: Write Protect is on

when i try using hte mount command to mount the card, even with the -w flag I can still only read from the card.

This is the command I use:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/card

any ideas?
thanks.

Do you have anything in /etc/fstab that refers to your smartmedia card?
