Why does FlexHex report an error when saving a Linux file?

Most likely, you are using the EXT2IFS driver by John Newbigin. That driver contains a bug that permits opening a file for writing even if the driver is, in fact, a read-only one. As a result any attempt to save the modified file fails. In order to avoid getting this error don’t modify Linux files, or open them in the read-only mode.
