I have external drive connected via USB to computer. In 2.6.25.4 when
I plug into computer works fine, and have this messages in dmesg:
usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Works fine:
maciek@zlom:~/kernel.org/2.6.25.4$ ntfsmount /dev/sda1 ~/mnt/ntfs/
maciek@zlom:~/kernel.org/2.6.25.4$ mount | grep fuse
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /home/maciek/mnt/ntfs type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,user=maciek)
But on 2.6.26-rc* sometimes I have messages "Write protect is on", e.g.:
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB)
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is on

or:

Then mount fails:
maciek@zlom:~/kernel.org/2.6.26-rc2$ ntfsmount /dev/sda1 ~/mnt/ntfs/
Error opening partition device: System plikÃw wyÅÄcznie do odczytu.
Failed to startup volume: System plikÃw wyÅÄcznie do odczytu.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': System plikÃw wyÅÄcznie do odczytu.
Mount failed.
"System plikÃw wyÅÄcznie do odczytu." means "filesystem readonly"
Tested on two computers PC and laptop.
