Help with script to check if a filesystem is read-only

[MrStoat]

Hi,

I am pretty new to linux and have been asked to write a script that will check all filesystems to see if they are read-only.

I have come up with ...

df -h > /tmp/mount.lst
awk '{print $6}' /tmp/mount.lst > /tmp/mounted_systems.lst

This gives me ..

Mounted
/
/boot
/dev/shm
/proc

So now I have ..

How do I automatically get rid of the 'Mounted' header in my /tmp/mounted_systems.lst file ?

Also, I don't want to check the /proc filesystem, so how do I remove that within the script too.

Then I will run ...

while read dir
do
touch $dir/read_only_test
done < /tmp/mounted_systems.lst

If the filesystem is read only, I want that filesystem name to be listed into another file.

Apologies if I am asking too much !

Cheers

instead of creating a test file, the information you are looking for would be found in just mount command

Ahh, better !
What error would the mount command give if a file system was read only ?

Cheers

mount command shouldn't throw error, it should only list information about mounted filesystems, I believe the keys you would be looking for would be rw, for writeable, and ro for readonly
