Hi,

I have installed suse 10.0 and have this set:

/etc/sysconfig/kernel:DEV_ON_TMPFS="yes"

But as far as I can tell "/dev" is still not a tmpfs file system. If I do a df on the server I get this:

/root# df -a
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs               117206592   1651936 115554656   2% /
10.0.0.10:/scratch/onesis/suse-10
                     117206592   1651936 115554656   2% /

sysfs                        0         0         0   -  /sys
devpts                       0         0         0   -  /dev/pts
tmpfs                  1028024         0   1028024   0% /dev/shm
usbfs                        0         0         0   -  /proc/bus/usb

The root filesystem "/" is mounted as a read-only file system which is why I need "/dev" to be a tmpfs. Any ideas as to why "/dev" is not being mounted as tmpfs on opensuse 10?

thank you
Rene
