mount /tmp -o rw,remount

&gt; I'm not sure why, but /tmp is set to read-only on a RHEL3 AS server.  I am
trying to set it back to allow writing but am failing so far.
&gt; 
&gt; Here is what I am seeing (I am unable to write to /tmp in any manner.):
&gt; 
&gt; [root at mcdb02 root]# crontab -e
&gt; /tmp/crontab.17515: Read-only file system
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; When trying to force the mounts to setup I see the following:
&gt; 
&gt; [root at mcdb02 root]# mount -a
&gt; mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /boot busy
&gt; 
&gt; There is no mention of /tmp in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
&gt; 
&gt; I can write to other locations on the server.
&gt; 
&gt; Any ideas on what I can try to get this fixed?  I guess a clean reboot
should allow it to function properly again but I am trying to get by without
doing that.
&gt; 
&gt; Thank you.
