It seemed that the disk itself became ro for some reason. Unmounting and mouting again didnt help. It told me the medium was ro, and so the fs got mounted ro, too. Maybe your logfiles can show anythin strange happened on the disk (may an temporary problem on the host disk). BTW: I've got some usermode-linux jail somewhere in the net, which randomly gets an ro root fs - I always have to ask the provider to fix it (no idea what he actually does). A few days ago, the problem occoured again, and my provider told me there was an hw problem and he has to change the broken hw. Maybe its the same kind of problem ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
