Fedora 5 - suddenly filesystem becomes read-only filesystem

sanwin — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:59:33 GMT

Hi,
We have a fedora 5 system wherein, the filesystem is getting changed to read-only filesystem all of a sudden without any specific errors. it is running on vmware and i am not getting clue how to debug or rectify this.

can we upgrade any scsi drivers to fix this?

or is there any way to upgrade the fedora kernel and from where we can get that.

Please guide me.

We are looking for migrating fedora to linux but don't have any proper idea how to proceed. please guide me.

Regards,
Sanwin

Shalom,

This is a fail safe response to a disk problem. You can try new scsi drivers or yum update on the fedora kernel.

FC5 may simply be to old for vmwware.

Fedora to Linux? Fedora IS Linux.
