Deb - Linux distro. Read Only File system problem
Hello.
I was looking Thin client Linux distro.
I found Thinstation but i didnt like it.
Than i found HP Thinpro Linux deb distro.
I'm runing this distro from usb. And working good...
Now i need to delete some packages and make some customization.
But i can't mount as RW. (btw I'm using ubuntu 16.04)
Thinpro's File system is BTRFS.
How can i access root dir?
/dev/sdb2 on /media/morphin/ROOT type btrfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/,uhelper=udisks2)
drwxr-x--- 1 root root 62 Oct 10 12:33 ROOT/
root@goksu:/media/morphin/ROOT# ll
total 8
drwxr-x--- 1 root root 62 Oct 10 12:33 ./
drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 4096 Oct 10 16:34 ../
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38 May 12 2015 persistent/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 212 May 12 2015 root/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14 May 12 2015 snapshots/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80 Oct 7 15:09 writable/
rm -R teemtalk/
rm: cannot remove 'teemtalk/custom.xml': Read-only file system

The files that you want to work with have permissions of rwx for root and r-x for all users. You need to switch to being root in order to delete the files. You can switch to root by opening a terminal and using the su command.

You can't be serious. Did you read my post? I'm already root and i cant even change owner by chown too. System is READ ONLY.

There should be a way to remount the filesystem live without the read-only option. I have a similar RO filesystem that ocassionally needs an update or mod.
Something like
> mount -o remount,rw /dev/partition

More 'wild-guesses' (sorry...): is it a 'snapshot'? (naw...)
Are there tools like {dump,tun}btrfs? Anything in logs? df showing 100%?
Oh! maybe: fsunlock, from search: "thinpro" linux "read only"

Dude...
Why do you underestimate?
Things that are easy for you can be difficult for someone else.
Asking for help isn't a crime. I search a lot but i didn't saw your link before. Thank you anyway.
But this is works only when its booted. I can't reach still while mounted on Ubuntu.
