Partition is ReadOnlyForum: HD Install Topic: Partition is ReadOnly started by: penguinpower Posted by penguinpower on Jan. 03 2004,15:52
Hello!I've installed DamnSmallLinux on a harddisk and it runs perfect. But the partition at the harddisk is readonly. For partitioning I used cfdisk. How can I switch it to read/write? Holger Posted by trif on Jan. 03 2004,19:07
when you boot it should say that its read only and give you the command to change it so you can writeif it doesent you will have to wait for one of the smart people around here to tell you the command cause i'm new to linux and i dont remember it. sorry if i didnt help much Posted by donkey wrestler on Feb. 13 2004,06:00
i think the command is:chmod -R a+rw / don't quote me on it though, ;) JP Posted by pipo on Feb. 14 2004,22:08
Look at the file fstab your partition will be written in a line If you see after the name of your partition something like ro it means your partition is read-only, so erase these 2 letters |
