I don't know what happened, but I all of a sudden cannot write to my external drive anymore. It first said that



$sudo touch Data_Files
touch: cannot touch 'Data_Files': Read-only file system


When I do



$sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point


and do the same thing I get the error message



touch: cannot touch 'Data_Files': No such file or directory


Does anyone understand this behavior and know a solution?



Thanks.
