    The filesystem seems to be mounted as read only.

    1. What does mount command on console show?
    2. Are you able to touch/ create a file in your server?

    There's a REASON your filesystem is mounted as RO. Usually that's because

    A> you have bad drives (possible)
    B> you have reached critical mass on a partition (usually / or /var) and can't store any more

    In order to resolve this, you need to find out which this is
    To start with, assuming that the system is up, from ssh , type
    Code:
    df -m
    If ANY of those show up as 100% used, then remount the FS as instructed (see previous posts) and clean it up

    If NOT, then you need to reboot the server, and have an fsck run. Do NOT do this while the server is up and running, as this can and WILL cause filesystem issues.

    mount -o remount,rw /
    never just assume that it's ok to remount a file system. That will ONLY complicate issues. Address the issue properly by checking the partition and drives with fsck while the server is rebooting.

    DelPierro,

    Best option here is to go for an fask. Check the log files also to see any hardware failing errors.

    What's a fask? Would you please shed some lights on this.

    I checked the error log files, and I don't see anything that could possibly mean a hardware failure.

    Best option is, as long as it is responding to commands - BACK UP STUFF.
    Then worry about fsck'ing it. I assume you mean it won't do a shutdown from the comand line. Before doing a hard reset, I'd back stuff up.

    I am not too familiar with Linux, could you please advise on a web site/tutorial that would walk me through the backup process?

    Apparently, I can't backup as well.

    PHP Code:
    -bashdatabasefile.sqlRead-only file system

    Sorry for the mistake. I meant fsck (File System Check). Yes, if you can backup the data do it first and ask your host to perform an fsck.

    Thanks.

    I don't have the permission to backup, even though I am logged in as root. I am running fsck as I type.

    If it's a cpanel server how old are the backups? If it's a server with paying customers you might want to hire someone instead of going through the learning curve with OPD (other peoples data). I think linux-tech in this thread is one such person.

    rsyncing whole partitions to another drive would be what I'd try, if there are no recent backups. It may save you from a real crappy holiday season.

    You should ask your datacenter to run an fsck as it was already mentioned, if the disk report as damaged, the would be able to provide you a new one, and you may ask they leave the disk as a second drive so you can restore the data to the new disk.

    I would recommend you hire a company to do it of you are not familiar with these kind of issues.

    Thanks guys for your help.

    I will see what my provider can do for me, if I have to hire an experienced Linux person, I will come here to look for someone.

    I don't have any customers ... I run my business site along with few personal sites, hence, I don't mind the downtime as long as the data are recoverable.
