The big problem!

[Lin-Min]

Hello, friends!
I have a problem .. Operating system in which I work - Linux Mint. Once I'm on your Kindle 3 decided to download an mp3. Since then, the problem:

[Errno 30] Read-only file system: u '/ media / Kindle / metadata.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/ usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 81, in run
self.result = self.func (* self.args, ** self.kwargs)
File "/ usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 338, in _books
mainlist = self.device.books (oncard = None, end_session = False)
File "/ usr / lib / calibre / calibre / devices / kindle / driver.py", line 319, in books
bl = USBMS.books (self, oncard = oncard, end_session = end_session)
File "/ usr / lib / calibre / calibre / devices / usbms / driver.py", line 242, in books
self.sync_booklists ((bl, None, None))
File "/ usr / lib / calibre / calibre / devices / usbms / driver.py", line 386, in sync_booklists
write_prefix (self._main_prefix, 0)
File "/ usr / lib / calibre / calibre / devices / usbms / driver.py", line 384, in write_prefix
with open (self.normalize_path (os.path.join (prefix, self.METADATA_CACHE)), 'wb') as f:
IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: u '/ media / Kindle / metadata.calibre'

Thank you in advance!

p.s. Sorry my bad english ..

If the file system's been mounted "read only", this indicates that the o/s has detected an error in it. You need to run whatever the Linux equivalent is of "chkdsk" to fix it.

It's dosfsck. However, dosfsck is rather unmaintained and I'm not sure how good it actually is at repairing damage (though I've only had to use it once in the last decade, and it worked OK then). It might be necessary to fix it on a DOS box, or rescue as much data as possible and reformat the FAT partition...
