/var --> read only file system
Hi,
one of our oracle cluster starting to make trouble because of "read only file system" on /var
Starting with some listener problems we find out that /var is ready only now.
System is up for 280days and the problem starts a week ago /var/log/messages stops to log.
System is SLES 10.3 but I think thats more an generic Linux problem/question :-)
#>touch /var/test
touch: cannot touch `/var/test': Read-only file system
#>mount
....
..
/dev/mapper/system-var on /var type ext3 (ro,acl,user_xattr)
We try to remount the partition
#>mount -o rw,remount /var
mount: block device /dev/mapper/system-var is write-protected, mounting read-only
We did not see any problems regarding the raid 1 hard disks but we do not fscheck them.
Does anyone faced some similar problems in the past ?
May some suggestions to solve without a reboot ?
Thank you!
