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?

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



If a file system goes read-only, it's usually because of read/write errors
(i.e. a failing disk).

Check your smartd output and /var/log/messages for errors.

Thanks to all.

I have updated the /etc/smartd.conf file and restarted smartd

I also did the long and short tests using smartlcd, but these reported no
errors.

I'll keep watching



I'd also force a run of fsck against the filesystem.

Hugh
