filesystem suddenly went into read-only

[ikki_72]

I don't know what happened, suddenly transmission says my filesystem gone to read-only mode. Have anyone ever got into this situation?

The way I fix it is to restart my computer and allow the automatic file system checker run and when it fails and you get a root shell type

fsck -y

and press ctrl-D after it completes. It takes a long time so don't restart during the check.

If you are running Karmic, there is something that checks on your hard disk's status regularly. You can find it by going to System -> Administration -> Disk Utility.

thanks. Since the filesystem of my /home directory is reiserfs, i had to use


fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree /dev/sda3

where /dev/sda3 is that /home partition
