Root device not configured to be mounted read write (I've tried)
I know this is all over google.....except the solutions offered do not work for me.
I have a fresh install of Arch Linux with i3wm and it's on an ssd with Windows 10 as
well as Ubuntu 18.04. I didn't want to mess with the grub boot loader (especially since it's custom theme) so I kept Ubuntu and just shrunk a partition on Windows 10 to install Arch. I plan on removing Ubuntu eventually.
Anyways, once installed I went into Ubuntu and
sudo update-grubArch gets recognized and is available on the Grub boot loader. However, every time I boot up Arch it displays that message
The root device is not configured to be mounted read-write! It may be fsck'd again later.--I have gone looked into /etc/fstab and it's setup as "rw".
--I have logged into Ubuntu and in the /etc/boot/grub/grub.cfg I have added "rw" after Arch's /dev/sdX8 (forget what the drive is called but you get the point)
--I have edited the /etc/default/grub and added
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw"--In my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I did add "shutdown" after fsck. I'm not sure if that's an issue or not but it wasn't an issue on VirtualBox when I was testing it out.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck shutdown)Can I please have some help on this? Thanks so much for anyone who can help!

Re: Root device not configured to be mounted read write (I've tried)
/etc/boot/grub/grub.cfg is probably not the bootloader config (only if the boot partition was mounted into /etc/boot) and you've to edit /etc/default/grub in ubuntu and regenerate the bootloader config afterwards.
Be prepared for this thread to be dustbinned because it's a problem w/ your ubuntu bootloader config and nobody here can actually make an informed statement (unless the person is randomly running ubuntu as well)
