Read only file system

I have an Ubuntu micro instance running on amazon EC2.

Recently after logging in I was alerted:

*** /dev/xvda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***

I've rebooted a couple times using init 6, however when I log on I am still getting the same notice, so apparently fsck is not running at startup.

I read this blog post which mentions that if the /etc/fstab <pass> column is set to 0

I am not able to read cd. Community suggested changes to Fstab file but that changes are not working. :confused:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name

Hi guysSry if this isnt the right section to post, but i didnt find any section in the forum where my problem fit.So, today i was working on my laptop, and at the same time updating the system when the power went down.

Hi i'm very new in the community and i'm having some problems.

I used to make a backup with rsynck in an external hard disk conected by usb.

Ubuntu stoped mounting it automatically, and i can't mount it.

Here is my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to n

I have mounted my NTFS disk via System Settings and this is my fstab configuration# # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 U

When I was installing, I got this error from ubuntu. (dialog)

The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:

[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/target/tmp'

This is often due to a faulty hard disk. It may help to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.

If you need more infos, contact me.

Hello to all

I build a small home server and I have installed Ubuntu on it. In random times I was getting this error

bash cannot create temp file for here document: read only file system

I searched the forums here and I found out that this might be a problem of a dying HDD.

Sorry if this has already been covered...couldn't find a similar problem in the forum.

My primary linux/ubuntu partition shows up twice (both instances display similarly) under the file system tab of gnome-system-monitor. Not sure if this has something to do with my fstab file (output below). I've also attached a gnome-system-monitor screenshot.

XFS and Ext4 file system which one is really stable and reliable for long run with heavy disk write and read?

the system will be used in a place where 24/7 is in service, and every second there is read and write in the disk system need to be 99.95 % uptime for about 1 year run system need to be maximum downtime in year for about 20 hours maximum

Which file-system is the best choice for such ch
