[SOLVED] boot folder read-only

Featured Replies

hi,

 

any particular reason why my "/boot" folder is read-only?

 

 

root@unraid:/boot# cd /boot

root@unraid:/boot# mkdir a

mkdir: cannot create directory `a': Read-only file system

root@unraid:/boot# pwd

/boot

root@unraid:/boot#

 

directory listing:

drwxrwxrwx  12 root root 16384 2011-12-19 18:02 boot/

 

root@unraid:/# cat /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID  /boot  vfat  auto,rw,exec,noatime,nodiratime,umask=0,shortname=mixed  0  0

 

 

 

thanks!

If corruption is detected it is made read-only to prevent further damage.

 

Use checkdisk, or scandisk in a windows PC to fix.

Joe,

 

Running a windows error check fixed the problem.  Thanks for the quick response!

Lifesaver, thanks.  Was getting read only filesystem and weird errors, windows checkdisk on the flash drive sorted it all out - phew

  • 2 years later...

I'm having this same exact issue, running unraid v 5.0.5.  How are you running windows chkdsk on the unraid server? are you removing the usb drive and plugging into a windows computer to run?  Are there other options from either the unraid console (logged in as root) or perhaps from Mac?

 

Thanks for any and all help!

Plug the flash drive into a Mac or PC and run check disk.
