Hardware problem

[Rick Sivernell]

Hi all

  Got a machine hard drive problem. This machine has Suse pro 9.0 loaded. On the
/ I have /dev/hda3 formated with reiserfs, the drive is a 6 gig IDE. The boot
system drops into maintence mode, I assume that this is run level 2 or 3, but the
/ is mounted as read only. I would like to run fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree
/dev/hda3. The problem here it is mounted, I need to remount as rw. I have tried
the following: mount -o rw /dev/hda3 /, but there is no joy here. I must have
neglected something or confused. Any help to educate mewould be appreciated.

  2nd question, if the first is fixed, I have a second drive a scsi 4.3g formated
as vfat for wine work. In fstab the system has it as /dev/system/windows not as
sdax. If I try and use sda1 I get errors, is there something wrong with this,
also the drive has a grp of root & own as root and will noteven allow root to
change this. I will post the fstab if it will help or any other info. This
machine is 350 Mhz Intel cpu.

Cheers
