Hello,

Fedora 20 KDE Thinkpad T420i laptop has started mounting Transcend StoreJet 
25M3 as read-only. I tried remounting with rw but it is still mounted as ro.

The system is fully updated. I have recently scrub-ed the external drive to 
prepare for backup.

[donnie at fedora ~]$ mount | grep /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/donnie/storejet25m3 type ext4 
(ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)

[donnie at fedora ~]$ ls -l /run/media/donnie/storejet25m3
total 16
drwx------. 2 root root 16384 Aug 31 12:55 lost+found
