I've accidentaly corrupted my fstab and cut the ends of lines. There are now disk uid, mount point, filesystem for root and swap, but the mount parameters are missing.

The system boots as readonly.

What are default fstab mount parameters in Debian for ext4 root and swap?

You can get your system's default mount options by simply entering defaults in the mount options section of /etc/fstab. For instance:

UUID=1f894590-b69e-4113-9142-b189d3adb33f    /    ext4    defaults    1 1

And the defaults are defined in the kernel. You have a typo. Can you correct "/ext4" for "/ ext4"?. – Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado Aug 12 '11 at 23:02
