Good post on removing the read only normal mode of the file system in Pi-Star. Note, you may have to redo this on occasion as updates might put parts back. And he missed one (or it was added later) in \/etc\/rc.local you can change to rw from ro. I replace bash shell with fish shell, so I leave the bash indicator. If you get a drive write error later from an update, you can type bash <enter> to go into the bash shell and still see the ro or rw indicator to troubleshoot what might have been added back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of a read only file system may not suit all users so here are the instructions how to change the pi-star configuration so the file system is always in RW mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Some of the files modified in this procedure may be overwritten during future Pi-Star upgradates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – mount file system as RW on boot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

File: \/etc\/fstab
change ro to rw in line 3 + 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/dev\/mmcblk0p1     \/boot       vfat    defaults,rw         0   2\n\/dev\/mmcblk0p2      \/       ext4    defaults,noatime,rw     0   1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
 Step 2 – prevent remount on logout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
File: \/etc\/bash.bash_logout
comment out line 9 + 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#sudo mount -o remount,ro \/\n#sudo mount -o remount,ro \/boot<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3 – To remove “(rw)<\/em>” and “(ro)<\/em>” from the command prompt. Note<\/strong>: this is only an indication, will not affect the file system<\/p>\n\n\n\n
File: \/etc\/bash.bashrc
near the end of the file, modify both “PS1= …<\/em>” lines by removing “${fs_mode:+($fs_mode)}<\/strong><\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ];\n      then\n#        PS1='\\[\\033[01;31m\\]\\u@\\h${fs_mode:+($fs_mode)}\\[\\033[00m\\]:\\[\\033[01;34m\\]\\W\\[\\033[00m\\]\\$ '\n        PS1='\\[\\033[01;31m\\]\\u@\\h\\[\\033[00m\\]:\\[\\033[01;34m\\]\\w\\[\\033[00m\\] \\$ '\n      else\n#        PS1='\\[\\033[01;32m\\]\\u@\\h${fs_mode:+($fs_mode)}\\[\\033[00m\\]:\\[\\033[01;34m\\]\\W\\[\\033[00m\\]\\$ '\n        PS1='\\[\\033[01;32m\\]\\u@\\h\\[\\033[00m\\]:\\[\\033[01;34m\\]\\w\\[\\033[00m\\] \\$ '\n    fi<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> in this example the original lines are commented out to illustrate the changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4 – prevent hourly RO remount<\/p>\n\n\n\n
File: \/usr\/local\/sbin\/pistar-hourly.cron
comment out the last line of the file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Mount the disk RO
# mount -o remount,ro \/<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
