The system was crashing every few minutes today. Took a backup of the relevant data in the system and changed fstab mount option for root partition to
UUID=3167581c-60b0-4db8-972c-a8dfafc882c5 / ext4 defaults So took out the remount,ro option. I am hoping to see what really triggers the error in dmesg even if that might corrupt some data somewhere in the process. The only challenge now is that I may not see the i/o error that freezes the system as root will not become read only. What should I specifically look for in dmesg? If I move /var/log into a separate partition on the same disk and keep root as remount,ro on errors and mount the /var/log partition without the ro remount option would I be able to see the error that leads to the remounting read only? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927866 Title: Root filesystem becomes readonly frequenty freezing system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1927866/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
