Thread: installing ubuntu, mounting

how do i fix this -
i get this:
"/bin/sh: can't create /etc/fstab: read-only file system"
when i type this in:

mount -o remount,rw /
then

echo "/dev/mapper/store-ext3fs /media/ext3fs ext3 noatime,data=writeback 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Did you run these 2 first??


mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir -p /media/ext3fs

yes I did that but I decided to remove it all so I may try to install it another time it would be better to start from scratch anyway. Thanks anyway.

that directory (ext3fs) is needed
