My server running Debian lenny has just had a power cut recently and its come back up with the root partition in read only mode. I tried to remount the filesystem in read write mode with mount -n -o remount,rw /
which then gave the output mount: block device /dev/hda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
.
But now the root filesystem isn't mounted at all so I can't run anything to mount the partition again or any other command for that matter such as shutdown because /bin/ isn't there.
Is there anything I can do remotely?
