So, i clean installed yesterday, all went fine, installed to /dev/sda8 (with partitions on disk for 'data', windows7, and an old install of mintKDE).
Went ahead an installed all my ususal applications etc. via muon package manager.
Then out of the blue filesystem become readonly. Reboot tells me there are errors etc. so i boot with liveUSB and run fsck on the /dev/sda8. this fixes some errors and finds alot of 'inode orphans'. But system boots ok after, until five minuted later, system is readonly again. Running fsck find no errors but loads of inode orphan issues.
So, googling around tells me that it may be a hard disk failure, but why did this only come to light after i'd installed 12.10?
And all my other partitions seem fine (windows and mintKDE boot ok).
Currently running check disk on my NTFS partitions from a windows OS i've not needed to boot for a year. A slow slow process.
so my question is, what (other than a harddisk failure) might be causing the repeated errors on the root partition?
Cheers!
