Hi,
I accidentally move the /etc/init.d directory to the home directory of a normal user...
Now, when I rebooted on my gentoo installation, it stopped at the point where it tried to read the /etc/init.d directory, which it didn't find.
It allowed me to log in as root. Which I did. Now, when I tried to move the "init.d" directory from /home/user/ to /etc, it tell me that the target file system is read only.
How can I make it writeable ??
Thanks for any advice,
Yanick |

try booting into a livecd
mounting your / directory (whatever it is hda1, sda1, etc) to /mnt/gentoo
if /home is a seperate parition mount it to /mnt/gentoo/home. if not skip this step.
and try moving the init.d directory then.
| Code: | | mv /mnt/gentoo/home/user_you_moved_it_to/init.d /mnt/gentoo/etc |

Thanks.
Yes I though of doing this, but my home is on a raid0(stripped) file system and the root system is on a raid1 (mirror). So it make it a little more difficult. That's why I wanted to know if the file system could be made writeable when I end up in the maintenance login when I do a normal boot of my system

You can remount it read/write:
| Code: | | # mount -o rw,remount / |

SOLVED
During the maintenance login I could copy the directory to it original place.
Thanks
