I have an overwhelming number of responses to my query and I really
appreciate all of you. It was my first suspicion actually that permissions
might be incorrect on the mount point so the moment I had the opportunity to
umount that file system, it turned out it got proper permissions. I resorted
to bring the machine down to maintenance mode and did fsck and brought the
machine back up and it came up ok.
So steps to be taken are:
1. umount filesystem and check mount points permission, should be 755.
2. if permissions are correct and still does not work, fsck should help.
Many thanks to all!
