It's really no where near as complicated as expressed in the RedPaper if you can simply intercept the usual 'rootfsck' and replace it. Then commit to having a set of "service" disks which can be flipped into R/W mode. (Then apply service, whether RH or SuSE.)
The RedPaper goes into excruciating detail because the audience is completely unknown. We had to assume that every step had to be walked through, and the distributors don't specifically support this idea (yet). But if you understand how a POSIX system should be laid out, and in particular if you have some of your own intentions about filesystems, it's really an easy thing to do. We run read-only root in production at my day job. I personally run read-only root (with shared virtual disks) on Xen at home. -- R; <>< On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 7:12 PM, Hugo Luis Vitelli <vitel...@ar.ibm.com> wrote: > Hello list ... > Since you have more experience would like to see ... by installing Linux - > because we want to make it Read Only disks, such as the filesystem that > are not modified and the Read Write to the modification ...
