From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am not familiar with I/O stuff, but I didn't see you mention if you tried doing an rpm-ostree rollback.
Since you said it happened after an update, did you already try that to see if it fixes your issue? Another thing to look at is topgrade. It's the underlying tool for Bazzite upgrades, so perhaps that can give you some clues as to what went wrong.
ETA: Have you tried asking in their discord? The community and devs are really nice and generally pretty helpful.
Tnx for the suggestions. I have asked on the discord server, but no response as of now. I will take a look at those commands and see if anything fixes it.
Filesystems may be remounted read only on error. I'd expect that to be reverted post reboot, but maybe your error was big enough for it not to? You may want to search how to perform an fsck on the affected partitions.
I touhgt the same, but connecting a new drive and getting the same "read-only file system" error is really strange. I used the other drive for qbittorrent and it worked flawlessly before the update. I haven't come around to try any of the suggestions yet. I'll report back tonight.
Did you disable fastboot in windows to make sure this doesn't happen again?
Fastboot was never enabled to begin with :-/
It might also be worth ruling out low-level issues:
Bazzite uses topgrade, which I think also calls fwupdmgr.
I'll check the BIOS stuff tonight.
As for the sata port, the new drive was connected to a different one so it can't be it. I did a drive health check and all seemed well and good.
Boot from a livecd and figure out what is going on.
Where would I start? Any commands I should try or just see if the livecd let's me take control?
I think bazzite uses systemd.
You can use journalctl to see the logs and find out what happened. They’re pretty straightforward to understand.
E: journalctl, not systemctl.
*journalctl
Jfc yes thank you.
Tnx. I will report back tonight when I get around checking.
Ok, I foxed it! I looked around in the log of which I mostly understood nothing, but then I came acress the section where the kernel/shstemd mounts the drives and the error it spits out. Googling it gave me an arch forum post with the identical problem. Windows didn't shutdown correvtly the last time I used it and did something to the partition table. I'll update my post wiy the solution.
Hell yeah
Can you restore a backup image? Sometimes that's easier to roll back a day rather than spend all the time trying to troubleshoot.
Just a shot in the dark:
Backup your fstab, then edit it to mount the drives to a subdirectory of your home.
Maybe that'll get you back access.
I'll give ut a shot first before the other suggestions. Tnx
Is anything going down in the system log when you mount a drive, or trigger an access error? If it's (one of the many) security systems clamping down, they tend to log that.
Can you read/write to the disks as root? If so, then something has likely gone sideways with your fstab entry. For example, the device name, order, or UID/GID may have changed, depending on how you've configured the entry.
It's difficult to assist much more without seeing the contents of /etc/fstab.
I checked fstab and it's the same from day one. I tired adding stuff to it and shuffeling parameters around (like phtting rw,exec last), but it did nothing.
Your fstab file can remain unchanged and still fail, if the drive or user identifiers have changed unexpectedly. It depends on how you've configured your fstab entries, which is why it's helpful to share them. In future, no one will be able to offer much assistance without seeing the entry details. Either way, glad you were able to get it sorted!
