Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Make filesystem read-write.: msg#00092

Subject: Make filesystem read-write.
Hello,

Thanks to Oliver's suggestion, I can now login from the thin client using a tty. I've played around with it and it turns out that the client is mounting the file system as read-only:

$ cat > hello
-bash: hello: Read-only file system.


This would explain why I can't login from the GUI. When you login, X and Gnome will write a bunch of files to your home. And if it can't, you get kicked out. I've seen this before.

I've played around with /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/fstab on the server. But it looks like when the client boots, it is not reading this fstab file.

Can anyone think of a reason why the client would be mounting / as read-only? And how to make it not do that?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
