Comment 4 for bug 366867

My machine is still bricked. Booting into recovery-mode and open into "root," when I attempt to do a simple "touch foo" the error response is "read-only file system."

Why would my primary boot drive suddenly become read only? ...and why did this occur immediately after upgrading to Jaunty?

When I boot into Gnome, I have sometimes 60 seconds where applications open normally (including opening a terminal and doing a "touch foo" without error). Within 60 secs, however, I cannot open anything without the "failed to open child process" mentioned above.

Unbelievably upsetting. Some response please?
