errors=remount-ro

Asked by Andres Bracho

Hi,

I was playing with "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 with Ubuntu NBR 10.04 only (100% windows free) and found this sentence in my / partition... "errors=remount-ro"

My computer seems to work perfectly fine. After many days of regular work and restarts the message is still there.

What it means? Why is it there? How can I fix it?

It's not a big since in 23 days I'm going to reformat, but I'm curious... ; )

Thanks in advance,
Andrés.-

Use gksudo with gedit. sudo doesn't setup the X session up correctly.

It means if there are disk errors then mount the partitions as read-only (ro). If you are seeing a read only then the file system is having issues and needs fscking. Use a liveCD for this and check the partition is healthy.
