I found out the only way I can write to the drive is to launch a file manager as a super user by typing sudo caja or sudo nautilus and than clicking on file system and then mnt where I can then see the drive and create folders or write files to it or delete files from it. If it check the properties, permissions it shows it’s owned by root and if I try to change it to any other user it won’t let me, even if I log on as a super user in a terminal window by typing su and and launch nautilus I get this error message
Sorry, could not change the owner of “usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Glide_4C530001010701113445-0:0-part1”: Error setting owner: Operation not permitted
This is what I get when I type
touch bob ; ls -l
touch: cannot touch ‘bob’: Permission denied
