one solution to the fact that the root is read-only is to use unionfs (probably nullfs will do too) the only problem I have is updating the image. hope this helps danny _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
