Backup to read-only fs (mnt/sda1)

(1/4) > >>

P4531:
I must be missing something obvious!  I specify (in filetool) the Device sda1/tce-b -- a tce-b directory is present at the root of the flash stick (fat32).  But the backup fails, because the /mnt/sda1 fs is read-only.   Like I said, it must be obvious.  Any hints appreciated.  Thanks.

Please post output of:
"ls -ld /mnt/sda1"
"mount|grep sda1"

I'm having trouble with copy/past, but the output of

ls -ld /mnt/sda1

is

777 root root 32768 date /mnt/sda1

output of mount|grep sda1

is

/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type vfat (ro,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,icharset-iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

This is running in a virtualbox instance.

When the system starts, /mnt/sda1 is rw.  I can run tce-setdrive and set to sda1.  /mnt/sda1/tce dir appears and has initial entries.  Right about that point sda1 switches to ro.  When I try to create a /mnt/sda1/opt dir to put .filetool.lst in, it never appears.  Then it looks like the tce dir has vanished.  And I'm back to square 1.

Thanks.

tinypoodle:
Have you done a fsck yet? If not, please do so.

On a sidenote: You had not mentioned until now that this is about virtualization.
Better to open topic in according subforum next time and be clear from the beginning.

P4531:
/mnt/sda1 is a fat32 fs, so presumably is unsuitable for fsck ...
