Fix read only fstab

  • “/ etc/fstab” [readonly]
  • can’t edit fstab read only
  • file ‘/ etc/fstab’ is unwritable
  • Repairing fstab (read only /)

If / etc/fstab is correct, you can simply type:

mount -n -o remount /

But if / etc/fstab is wrong, the device name and possibly the type must have to be given too: e.g.

mount -n -o remount -t extX /dev/sdaX /

Where,
extX is your filesystem type
/dev/sdaX is the partition you want to mount

To see all your available partitions just type ls /dev/[sh]d*.
