I ran the command fdisk -l
to find out what my external drive is formatted to, I found out it's uses GPT partitions and the filesystem is HFS+.
When I try and create a new folder on the external drive I receive the following message:
chmod: changing permissions of 'file_name/': Read-only file system
If I run mount
this is the output:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw)

/dev/sde2 on /media/dev/andre_clients type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)
So now I ran umount /dev/sde2
and unplugged the device then reconnected the device and ran the command dmesg | tail
and got this information back:
