In plain language
In Linux errno, code EROFS is EROFS. The official source describes it as “Read-only file system”. Its concrete cause depends on the operation and surrounding message.
Context to inspect
- The surrounding operation, version and subsystem determine the actual cause.
- The same numeric value can mean something different in another namespace.
Safe first checks
- Confirm which product, protocol or subsystem produced the code.
- Read the full surrounding error message and inspect relevant logs.
- Compare the code with the linked authoritative documentation before changing configuration.
