Why does filesystem go into readonly with error "EXT3-fs error in start_transaction: Journal has aborted" or "EXT3-fs error in start_transaction: Readonly filesystem"
Issue
- When the file system is judged, it encountered EROFS in ext3_decode_error() function. In this case, displayed following error;
EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,7)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted
or
EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,7)) in start_transaction: Readonly filesystem
