I'm installing Ascii->Beowulf on a separate hard disk, but obviously would like to make my current disk bootable as well.
I happen to do a bit of editing of /etc/fstab # nano /etc/ftab When I try to save the edit: Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system Yet: # ls -la /etc/fstab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6178 Jan 12 2019 /etc/fstab Here's the problem: $ mount | grep sdb1 /dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (ro,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) ... So I did: # mount -o remount,rw / This gives me: $ mount | grep sdb1 /dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) Maybe I can not install GRUB, But # grub-install bash: grub-install: command not found I will run # e2fsck -p -f and then reboot and try to install Grub again. But given a possble disk issue Safest is to concentrate on getting my system working on the new disk before experimenting with the old. Incidentally, in pursuit of this problwm I encountered a site: http://cdbug.org/file-system/linux-error-writing-read-only-file-system.php The page title ls: "Linux Error Writing Read Only File System". A pop-up that cannot be dismissed forces you to download a php automatic repair utility before you can read read more of the page. What I did read was that a reason for the error might be invalid entries in my Windows registry. I suspected malware and ran away rather than download the utility.
