I’m running Bazzite, which is immutable, so the root filesystem is read-only, but I’ve been having an issue pop occasionally where the rest of my filesystem, including my home folder, becomes non-writable. I can’t do much, and constantly get popups about folders being non-writable until I reboot, and then everything goes back to normal.
Does anyone know what can cause this to happen? And is there a way to deal with this without rebooting when it does happen? I don’t know when I’ll be able to try anything out since it’s not a frequent issue, but it has happened to me several times in the past.


Your drive may be going bad. When errors are detected it will remount the drive as read only.
If the drive is in use, how does it remount?
