I think you misunderstood that the problem is with the /sysroot/bin line of aufs in /etc/fstab. The problem is with /sysroot itself ( which eventually becomes / , after switch_root() call in the initrd ). If we mount /sysroot as read-write ( as you suggest below, Step 1, then rc.sysinit script runs a fsck on /, which fails because it was mounted as read-write. Hence we need to mount /sysroot as read-only only. > I guess your strategy should be, > 1.mount /sysroot readwrite > 2.change aufs mount as follows: > mount --ro -t aufs -o br:/sysroot/bin:/sysroot/.mount/bin=ro > /sysroot/bin /sysroot/bin > 3.edit the /etc/fstab and write 0 to the sixth field of aufs (/sysroot/bin) > 4. remount aufs readwrite (can you do this by /etc/fstab?) This remount is not happening... The line I put in fstab is as follows: none /bin aufs remount,rw,br:/bin:/.mount/bin=ro 0 0 The error is: aufs test_add:341:mount[4820]: /bin must be outside fyi, I have already installed mount.aufs, auplink, umount.aufs aulchown in /sbin > > [...] > > Because you specified all branches readonly and aufs cannot find the > first writable branch which is the default path of xino files.
