Comment (by axeld):
Sorry, I was completely on the wrong track -- `access()` should indeed
work nicely. What does not work is evaluating `stat()` information; they
will contain the readable bit no matter if the device is being mount read-
only or not. `access()` on the other hand must handle this case.
What I had in mind was that you'd check whether or not it's a read-only
file system, before doing the check using `access()`.
So the patch does indeed look nice now!
However, I don't think it fixes the main issue: MediaConverter does not
report an error if it could not write the files. There are other reasons
not being able to write to a volume (like when it's being full, or someone
deleted your target parent directory).
