Hello,

One of the CentOS 5.1 Xen guests of mine switched its root filesystem
to read-only mode a few days ago and now that try to reboot it I keep
getting errors about the root file system being in read-only mode:

# touch /x
touch: cannot touch `/x': Read-only file system

Trying to force the file system to read-write gives the following error:

# mount -o remount,rw /
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option

The file system IS, of course, mounted. Even mounting a test
filesystem from another Logical Volume works fine:
# mount /mnt/test
# df /mnt/test
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv
                     307644536 252961820  39055248  87% /mnt/test

Here is my fstab file:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,noatime,data=writeback 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults,noatime,data=writeback 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/testvg/testlv /mnt/test ext3 defaults,noatime,data=writeback 0 0

Any ideas on how can I save this system without re-installing it?

Thanks,

--Amos
