The readonly mount from the kernel (VFS) is the expected behaviour. What problems are you seeing you'd like to fix?
Regards, Johannes
I wasn't seeing any, but dmesg from basically the same CRUX2.2 on my other machine did not contain this same message. This I found suspicious combined with newsgroups mentioning quite a few struggling with such messages but no real clues. Thank you for clarifying this.
best regards Theo
You instruct your kernel to mount root in readonly mode. Edit your grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) and look for something like this: kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-2.6.16.23 root=/dev/sda1 ro max_scsi_luns=8 Then remove the "ro", or change it with "rw". Notice that fsck needs that the filesystem is mounted in ro mode, so check your /etc/rc script and see if it is mounted again in readonly mode. Regards, -- Alan Mizrahi +58-412-2228889
