FC4 Problem Read-only file system

Great Deals · External Since: Jan 15, 2007 Posts: 2

I run a Plesk server on FC-4. The server has run solid for months. Today I
lost my email then HTTP. Plesk has not replied yet so I figure I will ask. I
ssh intot he box and find that everything seems to be in read only mode?
Anyway to correct this? He is an example:

Mailing from root gices this result:
/tmp/RsRAbAks: Read-only file system

mkdir nnn

mkdir: cannot create directory `nnn': Read-only file system

Read 'man mount' minus the single quotemarks for the details, try something
like; /bin/mount -remount -a

Thanks I am not an admin so I ran it like you said and got a failure
message:
Can you tell me the part that is missing? df -h shows this

[root@sms ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
287G 5.8G 267G 3% /
/dev/hda1 99M 23M 72M 24% /boot
/dev/shm 490M 0 490M 0% /dev/shm
==== Belwo is the failure message =====
[root@sms ~]# /bin/mount -remount -a
/bin/mount: invalid option -- e
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .

Sorry, my fault the command should be; /bin/mount -o remount -a
