You are correct in your understanding, but if your "mount" shows unionfs as "ro" then you have a problem and it won't work. > > BTW, am I right to understand that stuff under /oldboot is read at > boot > time, and then AstLinux puts this stuff in RAM? Depends if there is enough memory, but usually yes. Unless you have some custom image build, I would start again using Darrick's latest images: http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/ rebuild your hda2 partition and use "genunion /dev/hda2". Then see if unionfs if mounted "rw". Lonnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
