Sorry it was my mistake , i forgot that my system messages are in Greek .

Yes Google Translate is correct on the translation indeed it speaks of

a read-only filesystem .

You are correct too , it was a filesystem error and not a database error .

The filesystem in question was the Var partition ( /dev/mapper/F31-F31Var ,
yes it is a Logical Volume ) .

Managed to boot a Fedora 29 installation that i have on this computer on

another hard disk , thought about it ( it has occurred once more ) and

here we are .  After an e2fsck , which reported even some I/O errors

among some other stuff  ( a lot of inode errors , whatever this inodes

are ) the F33 installation booted normally again .

There is a good chance the storage device is failing.   Make sure you have
backups.
