Bash read only file system

Here ro denotes file system is mounted read-only. Observe after re-mounting option ro changed to rw. Now, the file system is mounted as read-write and now you can write files in it. Sometimes there are some corrections that need to be made on a file system that needs a reboot to make sure there are no processes are accessing the file system. I booted into rescue mode. I then rebooted. Thanks, aplenty! Show 3 more comments. David Foerster I can't because I need sudo access and I can't get it.

I find that very unlikely. I am not implying both. What I mean is that if you can't mount a file system as write on a dual booted system and there are no visible issues with the file system, then the problem could be caused by the Windows Fast Startup You may downvote as you wish, but this is a valid solution for people who dual boot.

Not for this question though because your solution doesn't apply to it. As I had mentioned in my original post, this is the 2nd solution on search for the error "read only file system", which is the same error that you get when trying to mount an external drive in dual boot — Prejith P. This really worked for me Ubuntu Even though, I wasn't for sure that it'll work but it does. Show 2 more comments.

So the metadata cached in the OS, deny mounting the disk To try to correct the mistakes, identify the path of your partition disk in the Disk app i. Tash GL. When the kernel detects an error in the storage subsystem it will make the filesystem read-only to prevent further data corruption.

When your root file-system encounters such an error, most of the time the error won't be recorded in your log-files, as they will now be read-only too.

Fortunately since it is a kernel action the original error message is recorded in memory first, in the kernel ring buffer. Unless already flushed from memory you can display the contents of the ring buffer with the dmesg command. In general though, disk errors are a precursor to complete disk failure.
