Troubel in fstab file


Error in file fstabI had a typo in my fstab and it boots to a commandline but is readonly, I know what the error is but i can't change it because it's mounted as readonly. I want to mount the filesystem and make the changes. I know I can boot a live distro and edit it that way, but i was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.

Yes, if you end up in single-user mode with a readonly root, try:

mount / -o remount,rw

hat was very easy to correct fstab from readonly mode. We must mount / in read-write mode.

If /etc/fstab is correct, you can simply type:

mount -n -o remount /

But if /etc/fstab is wrong (as it was in my case), you must give the device name and possibly the type, too: e.g.

mount -n -o remount -t extX /dev/hdaX /

Where extX is your filesystem type and /dev/hdaX -- is partition you use for your root mount point.

To see all your available partitions just type ls /dev/[sh]d*.



mount -n -o remount -t extX /dev/hdaX /

I was on Orangepi3 EMMC when I had a typo in UUID of root having ext4 filesystem.

The command remounted in read-write mode and I fixed my fstab

mount -n -o remount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk2p1 /
