Everything is read only after reboot?!

after installing arch and awesome it worked fine Ive done this before, however I have 4 harddrives 1 internal 3 external, I went to fstab and added the internal, did the uuid=numberwhatever, ntfs default 0 0 and it worked fine, but when I restarted I log in and try to do startx and this is what happened and I have no idea what to do.
what doesn't make sense is it worked fine without restarting and the drive let me read and write to it, also my swap is a 0 0 if that matters..i searched on the net and no one is having this issue so there are no helping leads anywhere ive seen
http://postimage.org/image/n6885q3ql/

ok so I found out it is my fstab entry, here is how I have it , this is a ntfs 2tb drive internal http://postimage.org/image/idgd21mfb/
how I found out this was the issue is, I commented it out, rebooted started x and it let me in, so this concluded its my addition to fstab now I just don't understand what I did wrong.

System goes read only, after reboot all is fine for a day or two

OK, so here's the problem, I got a new PC, all fanless, SSD hard and all.
Works well for a day or so, then goes read only. For example - I come back from work, type something in the terminal and I get Input/Output Error. I cannot reboot, it says Input/Output Error as well.
So I hard-reset it, it boots up, everything is fine again for a day or two.
The HDD is Corsair CSSD-F40GB2, the MB is Gigabyte H55N-USB3, proc i3 540,
The / and /home are both ext4 mounted with defaults,noatime,discard.
I tried with/without discard.
I also tried changing the SATA/power cables - same results.
I also tried enabling/disabling features in BIOS like DMA/SMART/AHCI/compatibility stuff - same results.
Here's a dmesg I managed to get (errors are near the end).
http://pastebin.com/vJfdW90z
And here's a smartctl -a /dev/sda:
http://pastebin.com/eQxASEBM
Any suggestions are welcome. Also is there some diagnostic app for Corsair SSD that I can run and check the drive?
Cheers.

Well I don't recall how freshly booted, it was the only time that the system was read-only - giving input/output error to everything but dmesg was working so I saved it all to pastebin.
The system is a PC so I never tried anything else different from poweroff/reboot (works fine).

After moving iTunes, external drive sometimes becomes read-only after reboot

I had some system corruption a few weeks ago, and had to restore my system. As part of that prolonged effort, I decided to move my iPhoto Library and iTunes Library to external FW800 drives.
I had terrible problems initially with these drives mounting read-only. I found a relatively quick work-around, and that seemed to fix the problem. But I still have them periodically mount read-only, and I can't D/L iTunes updates, etc.
Why do they keep doing this on a reboot? Very frustrating, as I need to reboot as part of the fix, and I'm always in the middle of something else, and can't reboot at that time.

Oh, as part of this, not sure when the change was made, OSX used to keep the mounted volume name in /Volumes, even if the volume was ejected. Would cause an occasional problem - but very rare. I notice now that ML seems to create/delete these mountpoints automagically - and that's part of the problem. They get incorrect permissions when the volume mounts, and I (user I'm logged in as), can't write to the volume without some background shenanigans.
My process is this:
Unmount problem volume
Drop to terminal, and "sudo mkdir /Volumes/<mounted_volume_name>"
Remount volume via Disk Utility (you now get a "<mounted_volume_name> 1" - with CORRECT permissions)
Unmount the volume again
Remove the created directory (i.e. undo step 2)
Remount the volume - 99.9% of the time that seems to fix it.
Reboot to be sure - and it stays for a while - then at some point becomes a problem again.
Not sure if it's something in ML that's an issue - or something in iTunes or iPhoto (but can't see how they would affect the permissions when the system reboots and you login)

My external Firewire drive keeps coming up as read only after reboot.

Hello everyone,
I have a perplexing problem that just cropped up yesterday. I have an iMac (9,1) running Mac OS X 10.6.7. I've had the machine about a month now. I have an external 500GB Firewire 800 drive that holds all my iTunes music files. This was previously an internal drive in my G4MDD that I installed in an external exclosure I got from OWC. It's an EZ QUEST enclosure with an Oxford chipset. The drive is formatted Journaled HFS+, and I had reformatted it and copied all my files back over using Carbon Copy Cloner when I installed it in the enclosure. The drive is set in the Get Info window to "ignore ownership on this volume", and I have read/write permissions on the drive and the enclosing folders, including the iTunes folder. I can read the files, just not write to any directory on the drive.
Everything had been working as expected until yesterday when I started up the Mac and went to download a Podcast. The Mac informed me that it couldn't download the file because I didn't have write permissions. I checked the drive in the Get Info window, and everything was set correctly, but I noticed that I couldn't change the ownership options, as they were grayed out.
I fixed the problem by running DiskWarrior 4.2 on it, and rebuilt the directory. After that the drive was fine; until I started up today and was faced with the same situation. I was able to fix it again in the same manner, but would like to get to the bottom of the problem. A few other bits, the drive was recently defragmented with Drive Genius 3.1, and both that and DW and Disk Utility say the volume is OK.
I've been using Macs professionally and at home since '93 and this is my 5th Mac since that time. So I know my way around them, and I'm stumped!
Any ideas?

Filesystem mounts read only during reboot [solved]

Hi folks,
after shredding my last Arch installation I'm trying to set everything up again using the new released image.
generating the /etc/fstab file by
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
creates the following code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
# UUID=6c76fc7c-45d9-43e5-8530-7d098a58ca76
/dev/sdb3 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# UUID=8ac179e7-b291-440a-839c-0fd476abcf1c
/dev/sdb2 /boot ext2 rw,relatime 0 2
after rebooting I get the message:
fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb3
Possibly non-existent device?
and my file-system is mounted as read-only.
after changing the /etc/fstab by gaining rw-access using "mount -o remount,rw /" to
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
I once again get the file-system mounted as read-only. I would appreciate your suggestions on how to get rw-Access each reboot.

I'm sorry for that confusion, I copied the partition table by hand and mixed that up. It is always /dev/sdb.
Edit: just corrected that in the first post
You are right

Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
Thanks,
Neal G.

Hi !
I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

Changing a Record to Read-Only after an event.

I have a Developer application that needs to be modified. This
application includes several fields as well as a comments
field. I'd like to change all updatable fields (not to included
the comments field) to READ-ONLY after a certain event. Then
after a certain date, I'd like to make the comments field READ-
ONLY.
Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Regina,
Have you tried to set_block_property in pre-record trigger to update allowed/not allowed depending on the event. And in post-record update not allowed. These triggers must be on block level. Also on item level to the item 'Comment' define pre-item trigger where take a new decision whether you want to open the entire block or not, the same way as on block level triggers. But in post-item trigger always make the entire block read-only again.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser

firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser
It is a problem with firefox or is it this to to a virus?
How to fix? How to prevent?

Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only.<br />
Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a greenish block to indicate that it is not sure.<br />
You need to look at the files individually to see if any are read-only.<br />
Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.<br />

[solved] Ext4 goes read-only after nodealloc

Hello.
I've been trying this many times, but never succeed with using my partitions powered by ext4 file system with nodealloc option in fstab. It doesn't matter, if I add this option after defaults or replace defaults with nodealloc only. After reboot, all ext4 partitions (/ and /home) goes read-only, so I can't do anything with Arch, not even change fstab back. There are no problems, if I put other options to fstab (for example: relatime to ext3 file systems).
Anyone have same problem?

Whoa! That explains everything. I will try one more time.
EDIT: Yeah, this is it. It's nodelalloc, not nodealloc...
Thanks
