Hm. It is not enough to have /etc/mtab writable (I tried). Mount will try to create /etc/mtab~, and this require /etc/ to be writable too. mtab~ can not be a symlink to a writable area (I tried this too), nor can it be a bind-mount because it is used as a lock to make sure only one mount command is running. What about modifying the mount command to be able to write its files to /var/run/ or /var/lock/ instead? >> If there isn't, it is probably better to use the normal LTSP features >> to list /etc/ in $rw_dirs in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/default/ltsp-client-setup. > > This would enable it by default, even on normal thinclients, that > normally could coexist to diskless workstations.
