 |

Hello, I'm having issues with my scsi disk. I got Gentoo installed on my machine last month and was working, but windows blew up and I had to reinstall, thus hosing the boot loader. Yesterday I got grub working again but once I get back into Gentoo I try to do a few simple commands, emerge, mkdir, or cp. The disk will start to do its thing but after a min or so the command fails with the error of "read only file system" I check mount and it says the disk is in RW mode but it doesn't want to write. I'm running 2.6.12-r9 with emt64, the file system is resiserfs. The disk is a ST336754LW connected to a lsi-20320 card.
The dmesg says that there was a "failed buffer write." Windows lives on the same disks as the Gentoo install. So I'm not really sure whats going on.
I think I just might blow away the Gentoo installation and retry it. beh |

You can try to remount the partition | Code: | | mount -o remount,rw /dev/sd? |
The common behaviour in case of write errors is to remount the partition read-only to avoid loss of data.
After remounting rw check your kernel messages. If the write errors remain the partition will be remounted read-only again. You should imho think about buying a new harddisc then or disable the corrupt sectors.
