I'm trying to figure out how to avoid getting messages such as the following as boot scripts are running:
getpt: No such file or directory could not get pty for /etc/init.d/boot.d/S06boot.md My goal is to force certain directories in the tree to be R/O instead of R/W. But I'm at a loss as to where "getpt" is looking such that it says "No such file...". I thought it was in /dev, but I'm *-certain-* /dev is R/W. For the record, here's a cat of /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /guestvol ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /etc ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /dev ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /root ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /srv ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /tmp ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /opt/local ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /usr/local ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/root /basevol/var ext3 ro 0 0 /dev/dasdc1 /var ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/root /var/lib/rpm ext3 ro 0 0 In particular, /dev/dasdb1 (root or "/") is R/O (the minidisk is RR), and /dev/dasdc1 which has all the needed R/W directories on it, are "overlaid" onto the original directories on /dev/dasdb1 through the use of "bind" mounts.
