mounted as read-only ?

[keak]

hi there,

I have a server and currently I cannot create or delete any files, and I think its because our harddrive is mounted as read only

# mount -w
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)


is there a way for us to mount it again with write option ?
also, does anyone know why it was mounted this way suddenly?


any hlep would be great! thanks

Looks like there was an error mounting the drive so it defaulted to read-only.

What type of fs is the drive using?

What does your /etc/fstab entry look like?

Try booting from a CD and fsck /dev/hda1.
