https://bbs.archlinux.org – Ok I took a look at my fstab and the drive I'm booting says it is rw and should be ok. Not sure what else could be causing the problem. ctjedi52 https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=67290 2013-01-12T14:40:09Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to Screwed Up fstab: Hard Drive is Read-Only Now

Arch does not detect /dev/sdb 15 weeks 5 days ago

I also had the issue with a hdd which randomly timed out at startup.I don't know whether this could be the problem, but how does your/etc/fstab looks like?If you don't use uuid, change it to uuid.

Check if the UUID from the fstab is right:$ lsblk -fIf it's not, maybe see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#Swap_UUID

Could you explain how you are mounting the drive? You may have mounted it as read only.If you've done it by modifying /etc/fstab, check the options under wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab.If you're using mount (linux.die.net/man/8/mount) make sure you didn't use the -r or -o ro options.

This is embarrassing...After a bit of searching, I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151847 and realized that the problem was being caused by my fstab in which I had set a windows partition to mount on boot via UUID. I commented that out and am booting into my arch install fine now.

It is in our policy: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … uette#SpamJust use the "Report" button if anything like this occurs.

Acer Aspire 5742.I tried re-installing Arch (clearing each drive completely after backing up files) and it didn't even fix the problem. I believe that it's a hard-drive issue, which I'm dreading.
