>> >> WARNING: / was not properly dismounted >> >> the root-device is now mounted read-only. Is there any way by which I >> can dismount this read-only filesystem and mount it as read-write. You have to fsck your filesystem: # fsck /dev/ad0s1a (substitute the device on which your root filesystem resides, of course). This will mark your filesystem "clean", so you can mount it read/write. By the way, the root filesystem cannot be dismounted. If it is mounted read-only you can mount it read/write by issuing the command: # mount -w /dev/ad0s1a To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
