I have been following this bug from close to when it was first posted (because I had the same issue myself) and I am now convinced that this has become a gathering place for people who all have different hardware issues which all end up producing the noticable issue of the hard drive going into read-only mode (because the newer kernels seem to be more picky about filesystem errors now?.. which is good thing).
Everybody having issues should do the following things: 1. Make sure you are using good quality 6 Gbps rated SATA cabling. 2. Make sure you have the power cable going directly from the power supply to the back of the HD and also have the SATA cable going directly from the motherboard to back of the HD. (no in-between connectors or hot-swap bracketing) 3. Make sure you have a power supply on your system that is rated at a high enough wattage to handle every card and storage device, etc.. you have connected. 4. Run SMART tests on your affected HD. This means installing smartmontools within Ubuntu and also running tests via your BIOS interface (if your BIOS has that available). This will rule out actual problems with the HD itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
