In a galaxy long ago one could boot into openSUSE by putting level 1 in the boot command and login as root after which you could manually check for any errors in the ext3 or ext4 file system by issuing the following commands:
mount -o remount, ro /dev/<hdX>/<sdX>
followed by
e2fsck /dev/<hdX>/<sdX>
Since long time ago I don't use this approach, it failed for one or another reason. Instead, I keep some type of rescue system and I do the fsck of the target root from there. It can be the installation DVD, or another partition on the same hard disk with at least a minimal install. Recently, it can be the XFCE CD rescue image which you get from our download page and place on a USB stick. Yes, it is of course slower than the real system, but you get an openSUSE graphical system running.
Booting into level 1 seems to be OK and logging in as root was OK but then when I issued the command-
mount -o remount, ro /dev/sda5 [#]
I got the response (error msg) that-
mount: / is busy
It probably means that some files are open for writing. Maybe you can find which with lsof. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
