Hi, after waking up from suspend fedora went in read-only mode. I get errors trying to launch web browsers, both firefox and chomium based (saying that there are instances running, but there are not). Initially when trying to fix that by deleting singleton.lock I’ve found out than I cannot delete files at all.
After some research I see people suggesting that it may be due to hardware problems with boot drive or memory. I’ve done some tests:

I don’t really know enough to know how to interpret this. One article said that if SSD doesn’t show critical warnings, it’s fine. But RAM shows a lot of errors, so is that it?
Or is there a possibility that this is a software problem?

BTRFS likes to corrupt the journal files at random no i/o errors, only after updating to fedora 41 and it happens randomly after closing a game through Lutris… Limiting journal to 500MB of space instead of several Gigabytes seems to work plus rotate and vacuuming after the change, but I don’t know how long it will last.

3

I see, I did play games. But how do I do this if the system is read-only? I can’t edit journald.conf and vacuuming also fails.

Your ram test results show that you have some ram in this machine which is not 100% reliable.

I’d run a full memtest86 test from the boot menu (you may need to install memtest86 via dnf if it’s not already installed, then you should be able to select it from grub).

Alternatively, grab an ISO of it and boot from it via a USB stick and run it from there directly.

Let it run overnight. I’m pretty sure it’ll show you have some bad ram at which point you think about replacing it.

Get the RAM issue corrected first and then you can address correcting whatever is wrong with your installation. Doing it the other way around may well end up re-introducing new and more unpleasant issues onto a perfectly good operating system and filesystem.

When it goes into read only mode i reboot the machine after booting it is not in read only mode so I that’s when i made the changes.

6

Reboot doesn’t work for me, I will try running memtest86.

7

No one has shown this to be true.

What is true is that f41 provides a improved version of btrfs that detects more error conditions. Each report I know of has at the root been a hardware issue.

8

Your RAM is broken you can fix hardware with a reboot.

10

Run memtest86 from USB, got fail. Ok, so RAM replacement it is. But what do I do once the memory is replaced? Will the system exit read-only mode by itself?

11

A repair of the file system will be required. There are btrfs experts here that can assist in that. But it the worst case you may have to backup what you can and install Fedora again.

12

Broken ram corrupted the filesystem. BTRFS is innocent.
Replace ram and hope the data are, more or less, still there. Scrub the drive with the new ram.

13

I’ve installed new RAM, it passes memtest86. Is it possible to repair the system and make it not read-only? How do I do this? I have tried “btrfs scrub” (if that was the advice from the last post), but it did not help.

14

Follow the instructions. If it cannot fix the things, reformat.
