Hello @Aayush Gauba

Thanks for reaching out to us, the error message you received indicates that the system is unable to create a directory named 'azure-ml-labs' due to a read-only file system. This error can occur if the file system is mounted as read-only or if the file system is corrupted.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check if the file system is mounted as read-only. You can do this by running the following command:

mount | grep azure-ml-labs

If the output shows that the file system is mounted as read-only, you can try remounting it as read-write using the following command:

mount -o remount,rw /path/to/azure-ml-labs

Replace /path/to/azure-ml-labs with the actual path to the directory.

If the file system is not mounted as read-only, you can try checking the file system for errors using the following command:

fsck /path/to/azure-ml-labs

Replace /path/to/azure-ml-labs with the actual path to the directory.

If errors are found, you can try repairing them using the following command:

fsck -y /path/to/azure-ml-labs

This will automatically repair any errors found.

Please let me know how it works. I hope this helps.

Yutong
