I wasn't planning that, but I suppose I could. However, I think I'll have a complete LFS bootscript rewrite ready in a week or two. > For CD burners, I'd *expect* (but don't know for sure) that it would be > best these days to use the /dev/disk/by-* symlinks anyway, so those may > become less of a problem.

Symlinks like /dev/cdrom->sr0 work fine for me. >> I don't know why any rules would have to be delayed and that would >> mean that udev_retry would be unnecessary. > > If alsactl is in /usr/sbin, and /usr is not on the root fs, then the > controlC* rule that we have will fail, since it won't be able to run > "alsactl restore".

I've made the point before that there needs to be a writable analog to /run that is a top level directory, not a mountpoint, that is persistent across boots for this type of thing. Until that's done, I don't see a way to make / read only. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
