cannot delete files (read only file system)
I have two files. They were originally owned by root. I changed that and now the files look like (from disks):
drwxr-xr-x 3 greg greg 4096 Jan 10 12:51 snap
drwxr-xr-x 17 greg greg 4096 Jan 10 10:45 snapd
I tried to remount them but were told they were busy. I have no idea what they are doing and
When I try and delete them, using sudo or su, I am told that they are in a read-only file system
I also failed to change the ownership of those files that are read only
I finally figured out how to get rid of the files and then I did a search for 'snap' and 'snapd' it seems that there are a LOT of files (snap or 'snapd' included in name. I think these were already on my machine so I won't delete unless somebody tells me to do that.
All this occurred when I decided to by a cheap endoscope and see if it would run on my machine - BAD mistake! I think, however, that I have stopped and deleted all the offending machine.
Now, I wonder if anybody could tell me if I am in trouble. As far as I know my machine is running without a problem but I get a bit antsy when I do something obviously not good <G>
