FYI, I was able to successufully remout the root partition as RW, write to a file in /root/(.profile) and then switchback to RO: --------------------------------------------------- % mount -o rw,remount /dev/part/root / % (write some files in /root for example) % mount -o ro,remount /dev/part/root / % reboot -f (ssh back into camera).... % ls -l /root/.profile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105 Nov 29 13:59 .profile --------------------------------------------------- My guess is that the root filesystem is static between reboots and that is a good thing as it gives you more flexibility. It can allow incremental updates. -Phil -- .--------------------------------------------------. | Philip Carinhas || http://fortuitous.com | `--------------------------------------------------' _______________________________________________ Support-list mailing list [email protected] http://support.elphel.com/mailman/listinfo/support-list_support.elphel.com
