My root filesystem is mounted read-only at /etc

Hi there!

I have the problem that suddenly my root file system is no longer mounted under /, but read-only under /etc. This means that programmes can no longer be opened, as they want to make entries under /run.

I have no idea how this could have happened. dmesg shows that systemd-remount-fs.service failed, but not why.

The most interesting thing is that it happened independently on two different systems: a laptop and a mini PC in different locations, used by different users.

Of course, I could simply reinstall Bluefin. But I would like to know how this could have happened.

Can somebody educate me or even help me to fix the problem without reinstalling the system?

tmpfs            6413396  8312   6405084   1% /run

Please run: mount | grep etc

On my system the output line contains …type btrfs (rw,….
