[juneau-lug] Re: Recent power outage problems

Hi bdk!

I've seen the following problems:

if you're running ext2 and it boots up the system and is running and
suddenly finds a problem with the disk drive it will immediately
remount the drive read-only.

I don't know if this is what problem you had; but it could be.
