   Hello folks,   
      
   I have the following problem:   
      
   After powering on my fileserver after a power loss, I haven't got any    
   accessto my files anymore.   
   It is a SuSE linux 8.2 box with a 3ware Raid controller "Escalade 8506-8"    
   with 8 SATA harddisks connected to it forming a RAID level 5.   
      
   Taking a closer look shows, that the filesystem (raiser FS) get's mounted    
   read only, with the effect, that the whole boot-process isn't completed    
   correctly: almost no service starts correctly, reporting read-only    
   filesystem as the cause of error. After booting up, I can't even log in:    
   After I enter "root" as username the system answers "FATAL: cannot change    
   permissions to TTY: Read only file system"   
      
   I have made a screenshot of the boot-up, showing the crutial moment, where    
   the filesystem get's mounted read only. You will find it here:    
   http://lautenbacher.biz/downloads/DSCF1385.JPG   
   If needed I can provide further screenshots!   
      
   Can anybody please tell me   
   - why the filesystem get's mounted suddenly as read only? What could be the    
   possible reasons? The 3ware-controller shows all 8 hard disks to function    
   ok.   
   - how I can solve the problem, if I can't even log in?   
      
   Thanx for any advice!!!   
      
   Greetings   
   Tom
