Hi,

I just upgraded to Hardy and run into some problems. Without touching it, my root was set to read-only. So GDM failed, because no log, tmp, etc. files could be written, of course.

I had a look at my fstab and saw it's mounted read-only on errors. (which is the default in ubuntu).
Code:
# /dev/sda3
UUID=76462b60-7459-4689-8b01-74fe1dd36455 /               ext3    rw,errors=remount-ro 0       1
Unfortunately I couldn't find an error in the logs. So I just changed it to continue on errors:
Code:
# /dev/sda3
UUID=76462b60-7459-4689-8b01-74fe1dd36455 /               ext3    rw,errors=continue 0       1
But this didn't helped! The only way to get to my desktop is to remount from the command line. This does the trick:
Code:
$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
But I'm not happy with that, because it's a hack! My system should boot without my helping hands.

Any ideas out there? Thanks!
