my system is read only

[fedja]

Hi

All files on my system are read only , how can I change that

[devils casper]

You can write in your Home folder. you must be root to create/edit/delete anything outside your Home folder.

Hm
But I'm already root ,and all system files are read only ,so I cannot make any changes

[devils casper]

give a few more details. was system working fine earlier or is it a fresh install?
what did you change?

Erlier , system worked fine, but we had power failuer, and now file systems are read only, I tried to remount file systems with option rw but it didn't help

something wrong in FileSystem. boot up in Single User mode and check system through 'fsck'.

I tried that and response is:
pitar:/ # fsck
fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)
reiserfsck 3.6.13 (2003 www.namesys.com)

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/cciss/c0d0p3
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

Partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it
fsck.reiserfs /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 failed (status 0x10). Run manually!
reiserfsck 3.6.13 (2003 www.namesys.com)


And I ran manually , but nothing is changed. It seems that filesystem is mounted read only, so have you any idea how can I change that?

Right click on the folder.....Go to properties.....Then got to permissions and check write.
It does seem that your owner settings had a burp in the power failure.
