Hi all, I just installed Voyage Linux on an Alix board. Nice distribution indeed! Since I'll be using this board as an Asterisk PBX, I'd like to make /rw stuff permanent without writing to the ro-partition (hda1 Compact Flash). So I planned to use an usb pen drive (/dev/sda1) as partition to write to.
What I did was editing /etc/fstab like this: #/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime,rw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 #tmpfs /rw tmpfs defaults,size=8M 0 0 /dev/sda1 /rw ext2 auto,defaults,rw 0 0 now I get 2 problems: 1) /dev/sda1 is not mounted on boot (even if the hardware is correctly recognized and mount -a works after boot) voyage:~# dmesg |grep sda SCSI device sda: 4014078 512-byte hdwr sectors (2055 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 4014078 512-byte hdwr sectors (2055 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda 2) /dev/hda1 is always mounted rw (remountro doesn't work, it complains "/ is busy") Replacing /etc/fstab with the original version and rebooting puts everything in order, even remountrw/remountro work again. Any hint? Thanks in advance, Giuseppe _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
