Solution

The correct command to remount the drive with read and write permissions is:

mount -o remount,rw /newdisk

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. mount is the command used in Linux to mount filesystems.

  2. -o is an option to specify the mount options. In this case, we are using remount,rw which means we are remounting the filesystem with read and write permissions.

  3. /newdisk is the mount point of the filesystem.

So, this command remounts the filesystem located at /newdisk with read and write permissions.
