Did forcefsck leave you with a read-only filesystem?
December 14th, 2008 by Beth

Did you have some drive problems on your linux system and want to run fsck at boot time only to find that your system stays in eternal fsck-reboot mode?  When you try to remove the forcefsck file in single user mode, you discover that you can’t because the filesystem is in read-only mode?

Here’s what worked for us.

Interrupt the fsck and you’re in single user mode.

mount -o remount, -rw /dev/hda1 /

Now you can rm forcefsck

Replace hda1 in the line above with the appropriate device for your root filesystem.  It may /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda2

More details to follow.  I just wanted to blog about it before I forgot what we did.
