When one uses the web editing of rc.conf, and ignores or forgets the
instruction elsewhere to set the filesystem first to rw, it seems one is
able to bumble right in, successfully edit and save the file without
first setting to rw, then after a reboot, Linux complains that the
filesystem is dirty.
Since it is complaining about hda1, which is the boot device, there is
no way to fix without booting from a different device.
I fear that this can be a real tripping point for those of us who often
are in a fog, and even worse for those who can't even figure out how to
fix it.
Shouldn't the web editing feature either set the filesystem to rw first,
or refuse to allow the save? It seems to me that even OPENING the file
without making any changes gives the same bad result
Or am I completely off base here?
