HI. On my Kali Live USB drive I am trying to create persistence. I did it once but then something happened (it ran out of space when I tried to install snort) so I started over. But when I tried tpo create persistence I got the read-only error. YOu know in my search to get it out of read-only I discovered that it might mean my file system is corrupted.. But when I ran $ sudo fsck -f /dev/sdb it just responded fsck from util-linux 2.37.2 then when I attempted to follow the directions (that worked before: sudo fdisk $usb <<< $(printf "n\np\n\n\n\nw") Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: Read-only file system I'm thinking I need a new drive. Anything the gurus know that would be beneficial before I spend the money on a new drive?? -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
