Diet-Pi Update failed

Diet-Pi Update failed

[Joulinar]

Looks like your disk went into read only mode. Usually this is indicating file system issues.

Can you check kernel error messages

dmesg -l 0,1,2,3

[Joulinar]

Can you try following

> /forcefsck
reboot

# then after reboot
journalctl -t systemd-fsck

[chrisgillings]

I had to run e2fsck on the SD card on another server to fix the file system. After that, the upgrade worked.
The lesson here is to recall that any time one sees a "readonly filesystem" error it's almost certainly due to corruption.

Thanks for the swift and helpful guidance!
