[SOLVED] [HELP] Transmission Gives "Read Only Filesystem" Error when Writing to NFS-mounted Share Even Though it has Write Permissions

I have a Raspberry Pi with a 2TB SSD on which I store all of my media. That media sits in a directory that is capable of being mounted on other computers via NFS.

I have that directory mounted on another computer via NFS in /mnt. I am able to create directories, create files, move files there, and they show up instantaneously on the Raspberry Pi (I do this without sudo because I gave my user write permissions via chown).

However, when I attempt to download a torrent via Transmission and have it automatically save to the NFS-mounted share, it does so for a few seconds, then gives me one of the two following errors:

Error:  Permission denied (/mnt/....)

Error: Read-only filesystem (/mnt/....)

My Transmission Daemon user is set up to be my normal user.

Anybody have any ideas? I followed these three tutorials to set it all up:

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Who owns the mount point under /mnt? If it's owned by root you could try changing ownership of it to your user

I tried changing it just now to me and got this error:

[username]@[hostname]:~$ sudo chown -R [username]:[username] /mnt
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt': Read-only file system

Is there a way to make it writeable? Is that something I even want to do?
