I'm using a Compulab iGLX board with an AMD Geode LX800 CPU running Gentoo. When I power-cycle the board without a clean shutdown (or sometimes even with one), the file system always gets corrupted in some way, and Linux struggles mightily to come back to life.
The vendor suggests that I need to modify the Linux installation so that the root file system is mounted read-only - but they offer no clue how to do this (which makes me think they don't know how to do it themselves). I've searched for techniques, and found things are that are close, but so far, no cigar. 1. Is there a standard way to go about this with Gentoo Linux? 2. Am I missing something blindingly obvious here as far as using Gentoo/Linux file systems in embedded systems where the CPU will almost never get any warning before a system reset? I know it's possible to do this successfully but I can't get over the goal line with this iGLX board. Thank you for any advice in advance - Roger -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/file-system-corruption-on-reset---map-root-file-system-readonly--tp23260810p23260810.html Sent from the gentoo-embedded mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
