Hi,

i'm having a very weird issue were my system starts with all partition mounted as read-only. Here's my fstab

(sda is an SSD, sdb a normal disk)
Code:
/dev/sda3   /               ext4     noatime,nodiratime,discard     0 1
/dev/sdb2   /home      ext4     defaults,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime     0 2
/dev/sda2   /boot        ext4     defaults,noatime,nodiratime,discard   0 2
/dev/sdb1   none        swap    sw      0 0


fsck says my disks are fine.

Here is the funny thing that happen if I login and try to create files in different place:

Code:
touch /home/test2
touch: cannot touch '/home/test2': Read-only file system


touch /boot/test2
touch: cannot touch '/boot/test2': Read-only file system


touch /root//test2
touch: cannot touch '/root/test2': Read-only file system

mount -a

touch /home/test2

touch /boot/test2

touch /root/test2
touch: cannot touch '/root/test2': Read-only file system


dmesg:

Quote:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
sd 0:0:0:0 [sda] Attached SCSI disk
EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext2 due to feature incompatibilities
EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)


I think the ext3 and ext2 messages are explained by the fact that i turned off ext3/3 support in the kernel.

Any help is welcome, i'm a bit puzzled at this point !

I would recommend, that you first follow the gentoo-handbook.
e.g. X86/Installation/Kernel -> Selecting necessary file systems
You cannot do any mistake when selecting these kernel-options compiled in the kernel and not as a module
Code:

  <*> Second extended fs support
  <*> Ext3 journalling file system support

When using make menuconfig, open Help for FileSystems-> (ext4) filesystem
Quote:
... The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3 filesystem ...

Generally, I would enable every kernel-options recomended by the gentoo-handbook,
later You will have time to reduce the options step by step.
