hello,

my installation works flawlessly except for the file-system. it keeps mounted as read-only and i can't found the reason. neither mtab or fstab have "ro" in their params (both have noatime,rw and/or defaults,rw, both configs have been tested) and 0 0 or 0 1 (both have been tested, same result).

i see openrc says "Using mount -o ro" right after printing "mounting root". is there some other config file i might be missing?

i also tested:

- fsck on the filesystem. 100% perfect.

- remounting / with rw. it keeps saying it's write-protected

i hope someone can help. i can only modify the filesystem while using a rescue cd.

also, sorry for not pasting any console outputs. theyre on a dedicated server using only 640x480 bash.

thanks in advance.

Check to see if the file system is listed as ro in your grub.cfg because I have had that happen before where my root filesystem was mounted ro because of an option that was passed to grub. hth

as i said in the OP, it keeps saying its write protected.

Code:
Cannot remount block device /dev/sda2 read-write; is write-protected


inside of a sysrescd i can use the command "boot an existing linux os installed on the disk" and there, write-read parameters are fine. just saying

someone49,

I posted this a while back and never got a response. It's not the / partition, but it appears to exhibit the same anomaly.

I haven't yet been able to determine the cause :(
