Hi,

after upgrading my Debina sarge system my partitions are mounted as
read-only
with every new reboot. After rebooting I can remount the devices to
writable but that's not very convenient.

I checked the partitions with fstab, everythings seems to be OK.
Furthermore, I run fsch.ext3 (partitions are ext3) against all partitions
mentioned in the fstab but the problem still exists.

Here is my /etc/fstab:

dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 0 1
#/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap
sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 #/dev/hda7 /usr ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2 #/dev/hda8 /home ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2 /dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

Originally, I had the option "errors=remount-ro ". I removed this option
and even tried:
/dev/hda6 / ext3 rw 0 1

But / is going to be mounted still with read-only.

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Thanks

I would appreciate any help since I need the system for my work.

Chris

that doesn't sound good. your fstab looks good. i.e., i checked mine and
i have the same settings. does it allow you to remount. normally you
can't unmount the partitions such as root.

Look into the output of 'dmesg' for suspicious messages.

Find the startup script that does the 'mount -a' (I don't know Debian
so I don't know where it is) and capture its output, maybe add a 'set -x'
before and a 'set +x' after the part where file systems are mounted.

All this should give you a clue what is wrong.
