New user : No write access to USB drive

[nick4]

So just for kicks I dug out an old external drive and formatted, HFS+. Did a brand new install of Xbian. My old install was only a few days old, but I wanted to start from scratch. Still have the same problem. If I run "mount" this is what returns on that drive:

Code:

/dev/sdb2 on /media/Fantom type hfsplus (ro,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,sync,umask=0,uid=1001,gid=1001,nls=utf8)

So obviously it is listed as read-only, unless "ro" means something else.

If I try to run chmod, I get the same result as above. I can still easily see the drive on the Mac Mini, but can't write to it at all. I can still write to the PI itself, easily copying over files into the "Xbian" folder.

Any idea where to go from here?
