What file system is on the flash drive? What does gparted or parted
report?

Are the files marked read only (ro), or is the entire flash drive

Are you editing the calc files from Linux or Windows?

How, exactly, are you mounting the flash drive under Linux. What
command?

How long has this been going on?
