Greetings, I have a setup with this: cpu-Intel P4 kernel-auifs-2.6.37
I am attempting to have a read-ony root filesystem with /var mounted read- write. I have /tmp/rw and /tmp/aufs as mount points A) I tried manual mount with :- mount -t aufs -o br=/tmp/rw:/var none /tmp/aufs (It responded with this /sbin/mount.aufs:mount.aufs.c:215 /etc/mtab: read-only filesystem B) I tried mounting at boot time with this line in /etc/fstab none /var aufs rw,br=/tmp/rw /tmp/aufs 0 0 ------- In either case notning was mounted as an ls of /tmp/rw or /tmp/aufs yielded nothing. Advice would be appreciated. youirs sincerely sibu xolo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
