Issue
The following message is shown:
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):
Resolution
To resolve the issue,
- Reboot the RSA SecurID appliance
- In the space provided for Boot Option, key in init=/bin/sh.
- Run the following command. Note that it may warn/error that the partition is already unmounted. It is safe to ignore the message in that case.
umount /dev/sda1
- Type:
fsck -y /dev/sda1
- Reset the virtual appliance. The system will not prompt for root password and the normal boot will occur.
