Yocto build system permission issues.

[abrafo78777]

I am trying to build a Yocto project with the project folder in an external hardisk. The SSTATEDIR is loacted on my local hardisk. I had mounted the external hardisk with execute and write permission. Not sure why this file is a read only file read-only file. Any idea how to fix it?
