The above is the *df* result.... The drive was full that we knew.... We had to
reboot the server... AFter rebooting , we mounted but we are unable to get the
data in it..

I have mounted the *usbdrive* as follows::

#mount -t fvat /dev/sda1 /usbdrive  --   and it accepted , i tried also with

#mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /usbdrive  -- but did not get success...

I am trying to create file with *touch* - it is giving the output as follows::

________________________________________________
[root at server usbdrive]# touch xx
touch: creating `xx': Read-only file system
[root at server usbdrive]#
________________________________________________

So i said it is *write protected**...
If you need any information , pl. let me know.. There are whole backup we keep
in this drive...So I need to retrieve the data...

Thanks again...
