Well, After inspecting a little more, I found this message while booting in init 3: "Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: mount: / not mounted already, bad option." So, I rebooted in RH's 'rescue mode', and modified my /etc/fstab, which looked like this: LABEL=/ / ext3 data=writeback 1 1 I supposed that 'data=writeback' was causing this error, I simply change that parameter for "defaults" and then the fs was correctly mounted in rw ext3. Where or how should I set 'data=writeback' ? I supposed that fstab was the right place. Thanks again. Jorge Carminati.
