This second script is wrong. There are two mistakes: one is to wrongly report the RO status (because the script is derived from the first one). The other is misleading you to think that the root filesystem is faulty, when it is some other partition.
Ah!
I see it clear, it happened to me as well when I deleted a partition and forgot to remove it from the fstab file. I got the same error as you did.
Carlos E. R., you are brilliant!!! Thanks for the reply. I had almost forgotten about this problem, since I got my system working again by putting fs_passno=0 for the extra HD. Once I put it back in the system I think it doesn't matter.
I'll put that comment on a golden frame, and show it to prospective employers :-p
I am very happy you thought about the script, and looked at it. I had suspected there was really a bug, since we agree it should not have behaved this way.
I like detecting problems. This one I can not solve, I'm not a good script programmer. Not even a Linux programmer. But investigating problems is like a good game of... whatever. And to tell you the truth, I have looked at that script several times, but I never noticed there were two of them till today. Pure chance.
So this is actually quite serious. It should be reported to Suse.
At least a nuisance.
I would say that responsibility should be mine.
Good, I browse very little, I use a modem :-)
I will make a note of it. Unfortunately, now I am deep into experiments with DVD burning, for the first time. Hopefully I won't forget about this issue.
Point them to this thread, they should be reading the list on paid time.
Good day!
Yap, I'm closing for the day. I was watching a movie and it has just finished. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
