No, that is an endless loop Dan. The idea is to remount a file system with errors as read-only in order to prevent further damage from rw operations. From there, you can copy to a new location, like a new drive, rescueing the data that does survive. That drive made a mistake and that is sad. But limit the losses by putting in a new, bigger drive and remake the system to use it in place of the drive that upchucked.Geert Stappers wrote:On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 05:04:19AM +0000, Jonathan Wiebe wrote:I ran into an issue with my root partition being too small. My plan was to reduce the size of my home partition and increase the size of my root partition. Here is what I have done: First, I rebooted in single user mode. Then I did the following: # mount / -rw -o remountI understand the '-o remount', not the '-rw'. And I think "that command might be the culprit"It should be mount / -o remount,rw
