Galaxy S5: Read-only file system

[Panagiotis-Zachos]

Hi there! Thanks for sharing this great app!

I have an old, rooted Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F) running LineageOS 14.1 with Android 7.1.2.

After installing PiDeploy and selecting "New Deployment" I get the following error log:

>>> deploy
## bootstrap/rootfs : do_install && do_configure
:: Installing bootstrap/rootfs ... 
Checking installation path ... mkdir: can't create directory './raspbian': Read-only file system
done
mkdir: can't create directory './raspbian': Read-only file system

Mounting the container: 
/ ... FUSE exfat 1.2.3
ERROR: failed to open './raspbian': No such file or directory.
mount: mounting ./raspbian on /data/local/raspbian failed: No such file or directory
fail
<<< deploy

Here is the status log given by PiDeploy:

Hi, your problem is right here:

SELinux: active

Add this Magisk module or install SELinuxModeChanger and you should be set.

I installed SELinuxModeChanger, set the mode to Permissive and it is set correctly according to the status log. However I am still getting the same error.

[DesktopECHO]

Is your device rooted with Magisk or SuperSU/other?
Did you reboot after flipping to "Permissive"? Try uninstalling the APK and re-installing.
Once SELinux is out of the way, I can't see a reason the folder ./rasbian would have permissions issues. You can also try going into settings and change ./raspbian to something like /data/local/raspbian-root

Changing the directory worked, it's now up and running, thanks for the help!
