Short form:

Is there a method to remount the logical volumes writable
that does not require a reboot?

Generally the FW would write lock it.  A

     mount -o remount,rw $path

may not clear this. I've found that I need to often do something akin to

     echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

for each scsi host bus.  Another thing to try is to remove the driver
and modprobe it again.  However, as your /boot and / are on it, this
probably won't work well.

/boot wasn't, only / was.

Is there a difference between "mount -o remount" and "mount -a" if the
partions/logical volumes are already mounted "ro"? The system could read /etc/fstab which indicated that the mount should be rw. It isn't clear to me from the man page what mount is supposed to do in that case.

Also, can anybody suggest what could possibly differ between

RAID degraded=1, logical volumes mounted ro, 1 disk failed, 1 disk offline

and

RAID degraded=1, logical volumes mounted ro, RAID 1 disk failed, all others online

such that "cat" and "more" did not work in the former but did work in the latter, while "ls" and "megacli" worked in both?

At this point I have that just "happy to be walking away" feeling about the whole incident.

Thanks,
