Read only disk
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J5KT)
I've a backup partition on which I ran 'e2fsck -fvy' It was modifed.
It threw a write 'Input/output error' on logging the fault. It's in a usb caddy.
It reads fine. I conclude e2fsck has decided it's smarter than me, which is probably true. So it has locked out the disk. But I can't back much stuff up like this.
There's no cron job waiting, but how do I untie that knot?
