Everyone,
I installed a sata drive on a SuperMicro with SCSI drives. No problem with the installation. Everything went as expected as the os recognized the drive and assigned /dev/sdc to the new 300 gig Seagate drive. I had planned to use this drive for backup tarballs.
The drive had been functional for about a week with no problems. Apparently it went out today when I tried to reboot the system. Now the boot process brings the system up into repair mode, but mounts the / partition in "read only" status. I can see that the original /dev/sdc is present but /dev/sdc1 is not present.
I removed the drive completely and predictably /dev/sdc is no longer present.
The problem I have now is that I have an entry in /etc/fstab that references the disabled drive that I am unable to change because I can only get to /etc/fstab in "read only" status. I am sure there is way to remove the entry to /dev/sdc1 but I have not been able to do so.
Any help would be appreciated
