I have ext3 on all of my filesystems. Still - since this is an often bootet laptop - running file systems check periodically is enabled and properly reported by checkroot. But - one mount _before_ a file system check is actually run, the filesystems are mounted read-only, causing the system to fail on almost every task. One reboot later, fsck is run and everything is okay again, until mount 24 of 25 arrives again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. reboot 3. Actual Results: 1) fs mounted read-only 2) fs checked, mounted rw Expected Results: do not mount fs read-only unless needed.

I am not sure, but I think I have either the same or a very similar problem. I am using reiserfs on my laptop / partition, and everyonce in a while, / will not propery get remounted read-rwite. checkroot *says* it has remounted / read-write, but then almost every action afterwards proceeds to fail with the error "read-only filesystem"
try this, seems to works for me... rc-update del hotplug boot rc-update add hotplug default
do you guys all use hotplug ?
Mike, I wonder if this might not be fixed by the new remount code ? Might be a kernel issue with reiserfs/whatever that do not like remount ro of ro /, then remount rw again ...
maybe ... can you guys try baselayout 1.11.13 and see if it works properly ?
It hasn't happpened for a long while now, so I didn't pay much attention to this bug. As for me, it's fixed (though I do not know what fixed it) and can be closed.
ok, thanks
