Hi everyone! - oops! I have send a draft! Very sorry :( I really confused with this task. I need to run a slightly customized Debian Squeeze (stable) booting/running on/from USB stick. Problem is well known - to many writes on USB. Some one (on hup.hu) recommend me the unionfs (he was use it for diskless routers using CF modules) he was setup a union for /var and using tmpfs for /tmp. I have realized that in kernel-2.6.32-5 (for Squeeze) using aufs as a module (unionfs still exist only as a patch). /tmp is mounted as tmpfs, so it's living I have read man, aufs html documentation but I have still do not understand how to construct the command for making ro /var to be a unified with /tmp/var wr so in result every files in /var are seen by system but writes to /var goes to ramdisk/tmpfs ... Should I make a separate ram disk (different from /tmp which is tmpfs)? What the correct syntax for this branch(?). Can I put it to fstab? Should I built a new initrd? I read documentation and man several time, but some how I have could not stick things together - feel so dumb. May be you can suggest something more detailed description how does it should work, and how to construct the appropriate command.
Any help will be highly appreciated! tovis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
