Ah yes. An attempt to run a file system check in openSUSE resulted in an error about a read only file system as well. What all I did to arrive at my conclusion is outside of the scope of this forum, but I suspect this drive is on the way out and has some sort of firmware read only flag set that Windows ignores but the Linux kernel does not. So, for now I've moved my calibre library off that drive and onto a newer drive. Once the portable version of calibre is reinstalled, and I can verify my library seems to be intact, I'll try it under openSUSE again.
