[gentoo-user] init 1, root device is busy :(
Hello Gentoo users, I just can't fsck my root device because my Gentoo system don't allow me to remount it as readonly (mount -o ro,remount /dev/hda1). A rw-mounted device is unsafe to be fsck -ed. (AFAIK). When I go to tty1, login as root, do these: killall kdm, then init 1. It goes to runlevel 1 (maintenance level). But I don't have to type my root password in the end (on other distros I had to). I can unmount my /boot and /home partitions but I just can't remount my root device to be readonly. (Linux says it is busy.) What should I do with this? 1.) Should I edit my Grub menu.lst to make a new entry with single ro kernel parameteres? 2.) Of course I can fsck from (for example) a LiveCD (like Gentoo minimal cd), but at the present I don't have any of these. 3.) Other solution? Thanks in advance! pm.: I just love my Gentoo system :) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
