#237730 — Read-only bug ?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi !
I'm doing a Debian partial mirror using debmirror.
After around 65%, it fails saying "can't write file xxxx is read-only".
I unmount the partition.
Mount it back (external hard drive).
And now it goes great...

Someone ever had a similar problem ?

Usually the kernel will remount the partition read-only when there has
been an I/O error accessing it. Have a look at your logs (unless the
logs are on the same partition...)

One question: did it say "file" read only or "file system" read only?
My attempt at an explanation would expect the second.

In that case, you better make a file system check before mounting...

And keep an eye on your hardware :-)

Cheers

I never really used this hard drive before.
What I did see is that I mistakenly unplugged it before doing a complete
unmount.
Gnome automaticly mounted that partiton and I also mounted it.
So I unmounted mine but forgot to unmount Gnome's mountpoint when I
unplugged.

Will do some test.

I was planning to buy a PCI USB 3.0 card so this will be another reason
to do so.

Was some error on the logs.

Ah. Then perhaps the file system is a bit dirty. Most probably
fsck will take care of that.

I did run fsck and will see what it goes on from now.
I forgot to flag -v on fsck so didn't get all the info I'd like.
