Re: [SLUG] Help -- I cannot boot into Ubuntu..

Hi Erik,

mmmm.....I think your right.  I have looked through the syslog and 
couldn't find any issues, but now you've got me worried.  Anyway I did a 
backup last night.  Seems to be quite stable at the moment.

I wonder if when I passed the:

sudo mount -o remount, rw /

Then it wrote that to the /etc/fstab file?? and in my panic just missed it.

What other things would cause a EXT3 file system to go into read only?
