Enabling write access to external HDD (in: /media/SYSTEM)?

[wmoecke]

How big is this drive?

Searching on "dosfsck malloc cannot allocate memory" turns up lots of hits for small-memory devices. The answers are variations on a theme of "turn on swap or free up lots of memory".

I think I'd just take the drive to either my Linux desktop or Linux laptop, both of which have ample RAM and swap space, fix the problem(s) there, and bring it back to my moOde player.

I wish I could do that easily. It so happens that I'm required to disassemble the unit entirely just to get hold of that HDD buried deep inside. So, ideally this needs to be done within Jessie. If not possible, then I'll just apply the old adage by the wise Dalai Lama: "If there isn't a solution to the problem..." - actually, that adage goes both ways.
