I ran into an issue with my root partition being too small. My plan
was to reduce the size of my home partition and increase the size of
my root partition. Here is what I have done:
First, I rebooted in single user mode.
Then I did the following:
# mount / -rw -o remount
I understand the '-o remount', not the '-rw'.
And I think "that command might be the culprit"
It should be
mount / -o remount,rw
No, that is an endless loop Dan. The idea is to remount a file system
with errors as read-only in order to prevent further damage from rw
operations. From there, you can copy to a new location, like a new
drive, rescueing the data that does survive. That drive made a mistake
and that is sad. But limit the losses by putting in a new, bigger drive
and remake the system to use it in place of the drive that upchucked.
