/sbin/uci: I/O error
-
Hello,
I have an Onion Omega 2 running via the Arduino Dock 2. I am trying to setup wifi using the wifisetup command. After I select a network to connect to, I get the following error:
uci: I/O error
Restarting wifimanager for changes to take effect
root@omega-9f#8:-# /sbin/uci: I/O error
I would appreciate some help in figuring out this error.
Thanks!

@Aman-Chawla I saw this a few times myself. In my case I had done something resulting in memory getting mounted as read only, of course without realizing that had indeed happened. Therefore the uci parameter change could not be saved. Is there a chance your system is currently read only?

@William-Scott Thanks for your reply. How would I check that my device is not read-only at the moment?

See if you can touch a file in /etc/config. For example,
cd /etc/config
touch tempfile
ls -laIs a file called tempfile there? If so, your file system isn't mounted read only as you just wrote to it. If there's a problem the "touch" command likely would have failed.
Bear in mind there may dozens of reasons for a uci I/O error, my problem was merely one.

@William-Scott Thanks Bill, it does seem that my system is read-only. For example, when I just login to the device, I get the message:
``Your JFFS2-partition seems full and overlayfs is mounted read-only. Please try to remove files from /overlay/upper/.... and reboot.''
Also, when I type in
cd /etc/config
touch tempfileI get the message: touch: tempfile: Read-only file system

@Aman-Chawla Looks like you nailed it! Now figure out why the file system is filled up and you'll be good to go.
