[gentoo-user] root (/) read-only?

[dave waddelove]

Hey guys,

Quite often if I leave my computer on for a few hours, I come back and try
to do something and I find that my system has all of a sudden changed from
rw to ro on my root partition... Has anyone else experienced this? One thing
I noticed is that I get an error message upon sstartup about not being able
to find fsck.xfs upon startup for /dev/hda4 (my root partition). could this
have anything to do with it? I am running into a lot of problems beacuse of
this since a lot of programs rely on writing tmp files to /tmp on my root
partition. A lot of programs freeze or crap out and I have to do a hard
reboot, which I know will cause a problem one of these days....

Thanks in advance!

Dave
