remounted read-only
Hi,
I have a server that repeatedly remounts its / harddisk readonly,
probably caused by the errors=remount-ro in fstab. I read the following
about it on the web:
"Specifies that if errors are found when the filesystem is checked, the
filesystem will be remounted in read-only mode so that the system
administrator can analyze the errors without risking further damage."
I usually do a fsck -c which says it recovers the journal(ext3) and
modifies the filesystem. After this I reboot and the problem goes away
for a while.
But what does the text above imply with "can analyze the errors without
risking further damage", what can I do to prevent this totally?
Is it a sign of starting to failing harddrives or what might be the cause?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
