Can anyone help? When I format my USB drive as ext4, it automatically gets write-protected.

Edit: my problem is now solved
It doesn't get write-protected when I format it as ntfs or fat32, but I specifically need it to be ext4 (and write-enabled). Also I'm on Debian, and my other computer has Mint.
