Usb flash disk mounted, gave WARNING: source write-protected

Usb flash disk that's just dd-copied ith an ISO source, was to be mounted, but gave a bit surprising:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo mount    /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1/
mount: /mnt/sdb1: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.

while checked it by

Code: [Select]
$ sudo hdparm -r /dev/sdb1

/dev/sdb1:
 readonly      =  0 (off)

The Usb disk is formatted in iso9660
Any idea how to correctly solve the problem, preferably in Artix openRC ?

You can only create another partition in the free space, the iso9960 volume can't be mounted rw.
