Leland, > For you "shared root crazies" out there, how did you get /etc to unmount ... Or perhaps a better question is "How did you get /etc to *mount*?"
As I recall the install programs will not allow /etc to be a mounted file system. This makes some sense as the file system table (fstab) is in /etc/ - so there's a chicken-and-egg problem with /etc being specified as a file system in /etc. The last time we wrote about it ( http://www.vm.ibm.com/linux/dcss/ror-s11.pdf) /etc/ was R/O with only certain files bind-mounted R/W. The first time we wrote about it, based on the work of Rick Troth, Steve Womer, et al, (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4322.html) /etc/ was bind-mounted, and glancing through the paper quickly, I don't see anything specific to umount it during shutdown. Perhaps Rick could elaborate. > Nevermind.... too late :)) "Mike MacIsaac" <[email protected]> (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
