Hello,

I wrote a script to clean up about 80GB of data from one disk and replace the deleted data by their archives. The archives were created ahead of time and stored on a second disk. The script starts OK, but after a while, I get errors due to `read-only file system'.

I read that I can reset the file access by remounting the file system, and that works. I can then restart the script, but I get the error again after a while. What am I doing to cause this error?

In general, the OS will set a file system to read only if it detects errors. It's likely the drive is going bad.


The script, in pseudocode:

for dir in `...'
do
   rm -f $dir
   cp $archive (from other disk) $dir
done

Should I put a pause statement, or do something else?

Thank you,


Mirko
