Remount filesystem

Zio_Bill · August 31, 2010, 6:33am

Hi all,
i don't know why, but a filesystem of my server is in read only ( / ).
I try to do a "mount -o remount / " but it answer me:

mount: block device /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 is write-protected, mounting read-only

Do you know why?
Thanks in advance.

Could you post the output of

lvdisplay /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

If you are using RHEL <5.1 or RHEL <4.5, there is a bug that causes that issue:

You can reboot the system (as a temporary fix) or apply the required patches.
