When i try to create a new folder i get this message: cannot create folder - error creating directory - read only file system and when i want to dowload something i get this message: failed - insufficient permissions.
(I tried to make an eos-diagnostic log file and the message was: can’t save diagnostic file to/sysroot/home…read-only file system)
What should i do?
I have 3.7.7. (200210-144002) version.
Look for the device with the label “ostree” and a device name like /dev/sd…. In my case the root device is /dev/vda2 (as it’s a virtual machine). Now enter:
sudo fsck -y -c /dev/vda2
(Substitute the device name)
This will take some time as it checks the entire filesystem structure:
Now try to mount the filesystem in question to see if it has been fixed by:
sudo mount /dev/vda2 /mnt
If the command above yielded no error, chances are good that the repair was successful. In this case, reboot your machine with
reboot
If it was not successfull, run:
journalctl -k -l -n 20
This will output the last 20 lines of the kernel message buffer, which should include some indication that the device has a hardware defect. Take a photo of it and upload it here.
