Hi everybody,
I have setup an old Pentium with OpenBSD 3.9 to do some basic
filtering and NAT at my parents place after a Smoothwall installation
I did some two years ago got rooted recently.
Everything works just fine, except I have a problem with mounting
partitions from /etc/fstab that I don't understand.
This is what my /etc/fstab looks like at the moment:
/dev/wd0a / ffs ro 1 1
/dev/wd0g /home ffs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0f /tmp ffs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0d /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2
/dev/wd0e /var ffs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 1 2
After I boot the machine, mount -v outputs this:
/dev/wd0a on / type ffs (rw, local, ctime=Sun Oct 29 11:04:57 2006)
/dev/wd0g on /home type ffs (rw, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid,
ctime=Sun Oct 29 11:04:57 2006)
/dev/wd0f on /tmp type ffs (rw, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid,
ctime=Sun Oct 29 11:04:57 2006)
/dev/wd0d on /usr type ffs (rw, local, nodev, ctime=Sun Oct 29
11:04:57 2006)
/dev/wd0e on /var type ffs (rw, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid,
ctime=Sun Oct 29 11:04:57 2006)
Why is / not mounted read-only? Is it because the system needs it to
be writable during system startup? Do I have to remount it ro after
booting?
Thanks for your help,
Tobias W.
