However, note that you SHOULD NOT do this until you have repaired it
with fsck. Using a damage filesystem is generally an excellent way to
do more damage.
Supposing your root filesystem to be from the partition
/dev/hda2 you would say:
fsck -y /dev/hda2
Frankly, after this I reboot. The system should come up clean next time.
Then the / partition will probably be mounted read/write anyway, and if
not (because of your change to /etc/fstab maybe?), _then_ you can do the
"mount -o remount,rw /" thing, knowing that the filesystem itself is ok.
