I have tried installing a "by the book" installation a few times using btrfs for my rootfs partition 4. After formatting all drives boot-VFAT swap rootfs - btrfs. The software, OS, network installed with no error. fstab: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 UUID=5A8C-BDA4 /boot vfat noauto,noatime 1 2 UUID=36c1791a-b53c-4570-bff8-8d30383bb698 none swap sw 0 0 UUID=d275ef5b-ff6f-4c1c-a95d-751e7b1ccf70 / btrfs default 0 1 When I run mount the rootfs partition shows RW access. I later did the grub installation for EFI. It appears that when installing grub.cfg. The rootfs partition is set to 'ro'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Need to use a AMD ryzen 2700x processor 2. format rootfs partition to BRTFS. 3. Continue standard RC installation. Use the EFI grub installation. reboot Actual Results: The rootfs partition is 'READ ONLY' Expected Results: Full access as root All rehabilitation methods I have found on the web have been unsuccessful.

grub appends "ro" to the kernel cmdline by default. But the root file system should be remounted as "rw" by the root service (/etc/init.d/root). Please check if this service is added to the boot runlevel and is started at boot, check the logs for any errors produced by this service [1], try to start it manually and see if it works. [1] I'm not sure, but you probably also need to enable rc logging in /etc/rc.conf

Ok.. root is include in as an rc boot item. Questions: What do you mean by rc logging? I don't remember how to run a script line by line. HOWTO?
I lost the drive and the backup munged (cheap USB) I am starting over. Close bug if necessary (which to should be) Thanks for you time. Frank
The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. https://www.gentoo.org/support/
JFI I reinstalled Gento, using the same parameters VIA the updated manual and the install of the disks worked. Hww... what changed?
(In reply to Frank Daniel from comment #7) You had invalid mount option in fstab: "default" instead of "defaults" according to #comment 0. That's why root filesystem failed to remount I guess.
