...'just' noticed that at some point, my USB backup drive on my server is mounted as read-only and all of my background sync cron jobs have been failing. So I need to fix this without rebooting the server. I can VNC into the server and running "mount" shows: /dev/sdc1 on /media/HD103SI type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) and umount gets: # umount /dev/sdc1 umount: /media/HD103SI: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) How can I get this drive r/w?

The burning question of the day...... Should I 'just' unplug it, power cycle it and reconnect it?
