ORBIT-USER: Queries regarding mac filtering on sandboxes

[Ivan Seskar]

The error suggests that there was something wrong with the / file system
(i.e. it didn't pass the consistency check and was mounted read-only);
re-imaging is the best solution as long as HD is OK; alternatively, you
can use the workaround Sachin suggested ...

I saw that happen to me too recently..If you look at the
/etc/fstab..there will be a error-remount ro kind of option against the
partition.. I manually edited it to "defaults"

and then rebooted..

Worked for me..

However I have no idea why it occured in the first place..(and whether
my solution is the right one?)
