I have burned an ubuntu image on an external hard-drive and I am trying to erase it. I have first tried to erase the image through the pi-imager but for some reason I get the error:
Error formatting (through udisks2)
So then I mounted it, but for some reason it can only be mounted in "read-only" mode. My first question here is: how could I force the mount of my hard-drive to be in "write" mode ? After a few research I have decided to follow this post and compute:
wipe -q /dev/sdc2
It took hours to have the task complete, however the Ubuntu image is still on the hard-drive. So what am I doing wrong here such that the wipe doesn't work ?
The output of lsblk is :
...
sdc 8:32 0 3.7T 0 disk
└─sdc2 8:34 0 1.5T 0 part
nvme0n1 259:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
...
Could it be because I did wipe -q /dev/sdc2 and not wipe -q /dev/sdc ? Please let me know if I could add additional information to my question as I don't see any other explanation tracks. Thank you very much for your help.
