Fs is read only, "mount -n -o remount /" not working since the fs is not writeable

Question

How can I remount my filesystem rw if the filesystem is read only?

Solution 1

The file system might be corrupted. Boot your computer using LiveCD/DVD or LiveUSB, and try to repair the disk using fsck.

After the execution has completed, reboot and check if everything's all right.

Solution 2

Try using the following command :

mount -o rw,remount /
