I had thought hdparm might do it, but
the man page makes no mention of such
feature in hdparm.
SATA or some kind of USB thing ?
If its SATA I'm not aware of a standard way to do it or of drives having
the feature for that matter. Check for a jumper and also if its suddenely
gone read-only perhaps its doing that because its failed ?
What makes you think it's gone read only ?
