Or not using a Windows file system for the save.dat file.
So I mounted the save.dat file, and looked at it with spaceFM and even edited my file ok. So not understanding Porteus's boot indicating it's not writable.

The xfs_change command was informative.
Code: Select all

xfs_check is deprecated and scheduled for removal in June 2014.
Please use xfs_repair -n <dev> instead.
ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to
be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before
re-running xfs_check. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use
the xfs_repair -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.
Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount
of the filesystem before doing this.

How do I "replay the log"?? Or should I just use Porteus Settings Centre?
(I've not been a fan of all these stupid logs and becoming even less so.)
