“ROOT Filesystem is Currently Mounted Read Only”
Filed Under (Linux) on 18-07-2008
This error can be a bit unnerving if your Linux system doesn’t reboot cleanly. To remount your root filesystem as read/write (rw) issue this command:
# mount -n -o remount rw /

It can also be a sign that your hard drive is failing or has an error. Check your /etc/fstab to see if you have errors=remount-ro for the drive in question.
