I have a kingston encryptable USB stick, that when plugged into my laptop gets mounted as read-only.



I have followed the advice given here, but it does not work for me.



I have tried the following:



df -Th
/dev/sr0 iso9660 13M 13M 0 100% /media/user/DTVP


(note that the drive is actually 4GB)



sudo chown user /dev/sr0
sudo chgrp user /dev/sr0


do not yield any output, same if I apply them to /media/user/DTVP



dosfsck /dev/sr0
fsck.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
open: Read-only file system


I also tried



getfacl /media/user
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: media/user
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:user:r-x
group::---
mask::r-x
other::---


and then try to correct in



sudo setfacl -m u:user:rwx /media/user


but still, the stick stays read-only. Curiously, on Nautilus it appears as a CD rom rather than a USB stick, and, I guess for the same reason, on GParted is not listed and cannot be reformatted.



Any pointers?



Edit: output of journalctl -f

    Smells like a Kingston support question. ALL storage devices are encryptable - these on-stick-encrypted devices are not really ordinary USB sticks at all - they are computing devices that present as a USB stick (like phones do), and do their own on-board processing.
