SD /mnt/card has become read-only

[jeffk]

At some point, possibly during either of the following:
a) firefox install to /mnt/card, which completed and runs.
 wget http...minimo.ipk hung because of prism2 card locking up. Pulled card, interruped wget.
my /mnt/card (128mb PNY SD) got mounted as read-only. It is now giving:

Code: [Select]

unable to open \'/mnt/card/minimo...ipk\': Read-only file system
errors when I try to mv or rm a file as root from the xterm console. fstab is the stock version:

Code: [Select]

/dev/root     /         jffs2    rw  1 1

/dev/mtdblock3     /home    jffs2   rw   0 0

/dev/hda1     /mnt/cf   auto  noauto,owner   0 0

/dev/mmcda1   /mnt/card     auto  noauto,owner   0 0

none          /dev/pts   devpts   gid=5,mode=620   0 0

proc     /proc     proc    defaults    0  0
Any ideas on how to correct this? Do I unmount, mount, and what would be the exact syntax for that.
Thanks.

Unmounting and remounting may correct it, as well as a reboot of the system.  I would suggest rebooting the system fist (type reboot at the command line).

umount /mnt/card
mount /mnt/card

Should work the mounting/unmounting as long as the fstab is not at fault.

If that doesn\'t work and your card is formatted with ext2  unmount and fsck the file system (basically checks for internal errors):

umount /mnt/card
e2fsck /dev/mmcda1
mount /mnt/card
