mounting filesystem writeable

lord-fu · 07-04-2005, 09:04 PM

Sorry I know the Subject is kinda vague, this is what happened. When I was creating rules for IPF I left off a quotation mark off the end of a line and now when I boot I get "mounting filesystem readonly" so I cannot edit rc.conf to fix my problem.....any help? Thank you in advance.

edit:Is it possible to run a live cd and mount and fix from there? Thanks again..

ya you can use a liveCD to boot the computer, then mount your linux partition which has the file, and should be able to edit that

thanks for the reply. I dont know what I was thinking , or why I didn't try this first, I was able to remount the partition with mount -o rw /dev/blah
then I edited and all was good.Thanks again!
