 Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 12:41 pm Post subject: Root Mounted with Write Permissions |
 |
|
After trying to install baselayout2, every time I restart I get the following error:
| Code: | | Partition /dev/sda5 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it |
I downgraded back to baselayout1 and the error still occurs. I tried running fsck but fsck just says it can't continue b/c the partition is mounted with write permissions. Then I ran fsck from a livecd and didn't find any errors.
After some googling around I also tried adding ro to my grub line (didn't work) and tried "mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda5" but that just gives me the message "mount: / is busy"
What's the deal here? |

I have also run into similar problem. fsck was complaining about my / partition beeing mounted read-write, when trying to mount some other (unmounted) partition, mount was saying it already is. It turned out that /etc/mtab was not beeing updated at boot time. I'm not sure it was related to baselayout upgrades, but doing
| Code: |
rc-update add mtab boot
|
solved my problem. |
