\nIn Ubuntu, under Windows Subsystem for Linux, I was blocked from changing a folder’s contents, even with sudo privileges. The error message conveyed the idea that the file system was read-only, even though the permissions didn’t seem to suggest so.<\/p>\n
\nI went into Windows Explorer to inspect the folder from there, in the Properties tab. Beside Attributes, the box was filled in blue with a minus sign. What was the meaning of said minus sign?<\/p>\n
\nApparently, the minus sign means that some files in the folder may be read-only.<\/p>\n
Interesting, eh?<\/p>\n
