Missed the MOUNT(ain) on the write

Most of the times, error messages give you a hint on the situation. There are times though when the message literally says, what is wrong. There are times when people manage to miss that…

Engineer’s reply as is:

To solve the issue it is needed to change permissions for the following directory /var/log.

It can be done with the following command:

chmod o+x /var/log

I tried to do it from my side, however I got the following error:

root@server:~# chmod o+x /var/log
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/var/log’: Read-only file system

To be able to solve the issue, please execute the command under the user who has all root permissions.

If only there was a command that allows checking file system settings…
