Was just taking a look again at the mount info /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
root@TCSL-RANDR2:~# df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 17G 6.8G 8.6G 44% / I wonder if there are some errors that are causing it to remount as ro? Would that make any sense? How might I check? thanks Ann Michael Gorman wrote: > > Sounds like the volume is mounted read on based on the error feed > back.
