That looks like you mistyped "defaults" as "drfaults" in your /etc/fstab file.
I was well aware that I mistyped "defaults" as my original post indicated. I was also aware that this error caused the root directory to be mounted read-only. Also as my original post indicated, my first query was how to change the mount to read-write without having to reinstall the whole operating system.
