There might not be a standard, but the installer does have a default set, which includes a separate filesystem for /var/empty. I imagine this was done specifically to make it read-only. Since that was not done, it seems like an oversight.

If the install made only a single dataset for /var you would then effectively get a read-write /var/empty. The applies if you install on UFS and don't assign a separate filesystem for /var/empty like the default install does in fact. -Kimmo ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
10.0-BETA1 ZFS install -- /var/empty read-only
I just installed 10.0-BETA1 using the [very cool] new automatic ZFS option. I noticed that /var/empty is not mounted read-only. I suspect it could be. I made it so, and sshd still seemed to work.
