[SOLVED] read only filesystem prevents login

Hi everyone.
I have this problem after changing from initscript to systemd and adding an external ntfs-3g drive to /etc/fstab. when i log in i get this message and xfce4 doesnt start :

-bash: /home/bb/.xlog : read-only file system

ls -la /

     gives output  rwxr-xr-x   for /home
i also tried

 #mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda4  / 

    with no results.
when i try to change /etc/fstab entries i get an error message saying that system is read-only...
chmod and chown dont work either with the same error message
how am i supposed to change something in a read-only system?
