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?
