Answer 1

For me it helped following:

sudo chmod o+r /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/robots-0.10.1/lib/robots.rb

after that user is able to run metasploit.

Answer 2

As user4170357 but with a slight difference due to: Mac OS X 10.9.5

to fix, run:

sudo chmod o+r /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/robots-0.10.1/lib/robots.rb

(path is a little bit different than original answer)

Answer 3

This is a bug in the kernel where file-system becomes read-only or inaccessible randomly. Read more here.

To fix Just reboot and it will be fixed.
