I'm a beginner myself, so I'm not too sure. I do know that during the boot process the fielsystem is mounted as read-only. if you're booting from a floppy it might be mounting as read-only. check the man page for mount or see http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mount.8.html
fstab might be setting it read-only. I hope this helps, but if not, keep checking the user list. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can help. also, when you do figure it out, let me know. I'm curious now to find out what it is. good luck!! --- Tom Schuetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I mount it, I'm not giving any arguments. > Is -ro a default argument? > > ---------- Original Message > ---------------------------------- > From: Xucaen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 07:55:07 -0800 (PST) > > >are you mounting the drive as read-only? > > > >--- Tom Schuetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >wrote: > >> Thanks to everyone for the ongoing responses > to > >> my newbie dreck. > >> > >> Why, when I MKBOOT VMLINUZ-2.2.12, would the > >> system come back to me on three different > BRAND > >> NEW disks with a "write protected or other > >> error"? > >> > >> I really doubt it's the disks.
