Hello!
I'm working on an embedded system that will run Linux some day. I want to
have the root filesystem mounted read-write. This is not necessary, but
its very desireable, because other data carriers are rewritable only a
limited number of times, and I want to avoid using more ramdisks in
addition to the root.
Many developers need to create images of the ramdisk. The existing
approach is to give everybody the root password. We have already been
bitten by the consequences, so this should change ASAP.
Now the question. I need a filesystem that
1) Can be mounted read-write under Linux.
2) Whose image can be created without being root (using utilities like
mkisofs). The image may contain devices (e.g. /dev/null)
Any help will be appreciated.
