See mount(8): Mount options for jfs [...] errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic > I did a fsck in read-only mode and remounted read-write. Did you mean, you remounted the device RO and did fsck, or did you unmount the device and performed a RO-fsck (jfs.fsck -n). Please try to use a current version of jfsprogs and try to fsck (without -n) the device. > This morning, I woke up to find my server again remounted in read-only > mode.

Hm, occasional corruptions can stem from software bugs to anything like bad hardware. 2.6.23.1 is out, you could check the changelog if there's anything related to this one. But I'm more curious about the outcome of fsck on the unmounted device.... Christian. -- BOFH excuse #442: Trojan horse ran out of hay |
