my ubuntu 9.10 is mounting the root filesystem as read only. already tried some options found on the forums like fsck, remounts, etc, but no luck...
for what I could find, my problem is is /proc/mounts:
root@WKS00335:~# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0
/dev/mapper/WKS00355-root / ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
none /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw,relatime 0 0
my root is defined as ro
for etc/fstab, I've got:
root@WKS00335:~# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static....
#comments#
#<file system>...
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/WKS00355-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
#boot was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=9254b90c-c665-4dc1-8e1a-7b2e6a493ca4 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/WKS00355-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
the question is, how can I change /proc/mounts so that /dev/mapper/WKS00355-root / is rw instead of ro?
