File system read only

Dec 09, 2004 3 Replies

Hi, I have i386 - Embedix linux



Iam not able to delete any files.



It says: unable to remove 'xxx' read only file system



Please suggest. Iam not able to do add or remove files from this flash file system even as root, other thing is its out of memory.



Thanks,



You could try remounting the filesystem in RW mode. mount -o remount,rw /dev/root / or sonething similar
