Hello,
I have bought an Acer E380 about two months ago, and I rooted it two days later.

It was (afair*) always on 4.4.2, and I never had problems with it.
But about a week ago, I installed the popcorntime app from the official said website (Horrible app, torrent downloader is slow and often breaks, if you restart your phone the 'checking files...' goes on forever,...) and said app, that was downloading a file, crashed and would not let me restart a download because of "insufficient space".

I tried deleting said file, unusable but full size, thanks to that useless torrent client, and it kept coming back.

I could not edit the SD card files from another computer with linux, and windows would straight out not recognize it.

After wiping it with gParted, it worked fine on both windows and linux, but android started screwing with my root.

Some apps like linux deploy would not be able to write, impossible to copy a file from the phone's memory to the card, and much more...

But it strangely worked fine with "normal" apps without root access!

After opening a terminal, I made a quick dummy file and tried to copy it to sdcard0, worked fine.

I then tried to proceed the exact same way with superuser rights, and it threw some Endpoint errors as well as just "Read-Only Filesystem"



Does anyone knows what's going on, and how can I fix this mess?
