Hello The RW directory is built from the RO directory at boot, if you want to keep files they should be written into RO, you will probably need a sync script to run in cron if you need to keep log files or other dynamic files across reboots.

I've taken a look into my /ect/fstab file and it looks as follows: #/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime,rw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 tmpfs /rw tmpfs defaults,size=8M 0 0 Now to me this would indicate that I have 8Mb of file storage mounted we RW in my /rw/ directory, however, when I place files in here and reboot the system, they disappear, is that what's meant to happen? I need to keep these files even once a reboot has occurred.
