That looks like you mistyped "defaults" as "drfaults" in your

I was well aware that I mistyped "defaults" as my original post
indicated. I was also aware that this error caused the root directory
to be mounted read-only. Also as my original post indicated, my first
query was how to change the mount to read-write without having to
reinstall the whole operating system.
Simply specify both the directory _and_ the device on the command
line, in that case mount doesn't read fstab.
Eg something like:
mount -n -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /
Yes, but mount reads mtab. Mtab showed / as already mounted;
consequently the mount command failed. I had to use the script file
furnished by Almut Behrens in his post to the list of 2006-01-17 05:41 UTC
