From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: The only file system being mounted is / as shown by df. It is mounted read-only. Although df does not show other file systems mounted, the files are there and those directories CAN be written into. Ex. in /usr I can create a file using "touch /usr/junk". We found a file "/halt" of 0 length in the root "/" filesystem. We booted into rescue mode using the install CD, removed the /halt file and rebooted. The system came up ok and performed a fsck on all filesystem. This check showed no errors. Everything appeared to be working properly. We later rebooted and are now back to our original problem, "/" read-only and a /halt file in root "/" filesystem, date of last shutdown and 0 length. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Additional info:
What errors do you get on bootup when it comes up in this state? Is your initrd made correctly?
I have another system that is setup the same way and it is working ok. This system was functioning ok until late last week. The change that was made then was to change the setup on some additional disks that are not on /dev/sda.
Again, what specific errors do you get on boot?
Closing, no response.
