Public bug reported: Subj. Reproduction steps:
- (Install Bionic from http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.4 -desktop-amd64.iso into Virtualbox Windows x64 6.0.10 r132072. Recommended requirements for VM hardware, Minimal installation, default parameters elsewhere) - Enter recovery mode => The menu says: "filesystem state: read-only" - Enter root shell => # mount <...> /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) <...> - Ctrl-D => The menu still says: "filesystem state: read-only" As a result, I cannot do anything that requires a readonly mount (in my case, needed `zerofree` to shrink the virtual disk file). A workaround is "echo u >/proc/sysrq-trigger" or Alt-SysRq-U. ** Affects: friendly-recovery (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868042 Title: root filesystem is not mounted readonly as advertised To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/1868042/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
