I've just done a fresh install of 11.3 + updates, and I've ended up with a system that leaves my root filesystem mounted read-only. Has anyone else had a similar issue? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

FYI, it looks like root is mounted read-only at first (normal), but then never remounted rw. Did anyone fiddle with the initrd startup? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have two time where I had a read only file system. The first when I was using a IDE/Raid controller that openSUSE seem to not like. The other time was I had major disc issue. It seem smart picked up on the drive was failing, so it mark it read only. Just long enough for me to do a dd of to an image file. -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

This is a different situation - it's normal for the root to be mounted read-only initially, but it has to be remounted as read-write before init and that is not happening. Anyway, see bug#652960. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It seems to be happening because someone or something has stuck 'ro' in the kernel cmd line. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, that was a silly problem - I copied the boot loader config from a 10.2 system which had 'read-only' in the config. I'm surprised that the initrd script didn't remount root as read-write, but that's not important. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
