hi... i'm trying to write on a system that seems to have been incorrectly upgraded... i get a "read-only filesystem" when i try to write/create files on most of the disk. i can go to the '/boot' area and create a file, but the rest of the disk gives me the above message... my /etc/fstab is: [root@lserver4 var]# cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 << cant's write LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 <<<< i can write.. none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 [root@lserver4 var]# ------------------------------------------------------------- any idea/thoughts on what i can do to get my drive back, short of having to reinstall the OS? any ideas on what could have been done to get the box in this state?? i'm running FC3 on the box. thanks -bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
