Partition keeps switching to read only












1














For the past week my server has been having issues where the boot partition is switching to read only mode.



I managed to boot into rescue mode and to check the partitions



fsck.ext4 -n /dev/sda1


But it looks like everything is fine



e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
Warning! /dev/sda1 is in use.
Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check.
/dev/sda1: clean, 49455/3203072 files, 633065/12799728 blocks


Any idea what's happening or which tests I should do to understand what's going on?



Usually rebooting will work properly for a few days/hours, but that's just a workaround for now...



Thanks

          As I remember all partitions mounts as RO in rescue mode, so you need to remount it by hand:



          sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /mountpoint


          Also I would suggest you to check your drive's S.M.A.R.T. status.
