In this scenario:
lilo: linux 1 <ENTER> Going to runlevel 1. Once there the fs is read write as is normal. `touch file' works. The mount command shows all the partitions listed in fstab as auto, are mounted. Now if I give the `umount -a' command I see the usual message that / is busy but everthing else is umounted. In my setup that means only / is mounted. Now `touch file' fails and the fs is reported as read only. I don't remember this being the case in the past. Also if I individually umount all but / instead of `using umount -a' the file system remains read write. The umount man page gives no indication that this will or should happen. The closest comment there concerns the -r flag which will cause a failed `umount' command to remount the target partition read only. I'm not using the -r flag and it does not say it is the default. Can someone confirm if this is normal behavior? _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
