After upgrading from 0.2.5.12 (git-3731dd5c3071dcba) to 0.2.6.9 (git-145b2587d1269af4) an error occured. I'm on Debian Jessie (stable) on an AMD Athlon 64 X2. Tor won't start and these are the last lines in log: [warn] Couldn't open "/media/cRAID/Tor/lock" for locking: Read-only file system

teor thinks that I "could be experiencing an issue with the tor sandbox and not getting the right paths or, tor is running with insufficient permissions"

I'd assume that's the protection settings enabled in Tor's service file.

See /lib/systemd/system/tor.service and the systemd.exec(5) manpage. You can override these by making your own /etc/systemd/system/tor.service file.
