When ext3 first takes a filesystem offline/readonly, it always logs an initial message explaining why it's doing so. You'll need to capture that log message. Obviously, if it's the filesystem containing /var/ that went readonly, then /var/log/messages won't contain the information; but "dmesg" may, and you can set up serial or network console to capture it. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
