Grub-Install

#1 Post by capwalker666 »

The command GRUB-INSTALL returns an error indicating my file system is read only. How do I fix that ?

Is your filesystem read-only? Can you create files on that filesystem? If it is read-only you want to check logs with "sudo journalctl --since boot" to discover if there was an error that caused this.

Are you booted to the system to which you are trying to install Grub? Or are you running the command from a live session or other place "outside" the target system?

Be aware, one reason for a partition to be mounted read-only is that the system has detected errors. If that's your case, the errors will have to be fixed before you can proceed.
