If the message is something like:

/xxx: Read-only file system

Then you can fix the problem for the moment by issuing the command (as
root):

# mount -u /xxx

See the mount(8) man page for details.

For a permanent fix, look for a line in the /etc/fstab file that says:

/dev/yyy	/xxx	4.2	rw	1 1

If it says "ro" instead of "rw", replace the "ro" with "rw".  See the
fstab(5) man page for details.
