Just a thought -- but you show in an earlier email you mounted the usb drive
as "fvat" -- This should be "vfat"
Did you make a typing mistake during the mount, or just while explaining
what you did?
Also, I believe NTFS (vfat) is supported for read-only, so I could see why
the drive shows up as 100% full.
