Hello, I was bitten by this bug too (very strange, the kernel reported the FS as read-write, and touch and rm would work , but chmod gave 'read only filesystem'). Getting rid of XFS flags in /etc/fstab was a workaround for me too.
The people on #xfs freenode helped me out here, and they noted that, apart from this patch, ubuntu intrepid is also missing a very important data corruption fix for XFS. <hch> and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=co mmitdiff;h=73f6aa4d44ab6157badc456ddfa05b31e58de5f0 while you're at it <hch> without the latter one you can get really bad corruption if you rely on barriers <hch> looks like not many people use xfs on ubuntu.. (...) <hch> but the barrier fix would be extremely useful too <hch> otherwise we'll get lots of complaints from ubuntu users about data corruption should i log a separate bugreport about this ? thanks! greetings, Frank -- 8.10 intrepid alpha 6 - root file system mounted read only (XFS) with2.6.27-4-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
