HI Chris
I have shorewall running on our voyages boxes, I got around it by symlinking the ro dir to rw. I mainly used the section in the readme about installing webmin Wayne From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Morley Sent: 12 March 2008 12:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Voyage-linux] Shorewall Read Only /var/lib/shorewall/ problem Hi, I am trying to get shorewall running and whilst it installs from apt-get fine, i am having issues with the Read only file system. Shorewall seems to write the compiled scripts into /var/lib/shorewall. When i run remountrw there is no problem, however with remountro hitting 'shorewall start' in the shell gives a whole raft of errors: Compiling... /usr/share/shorewall/functions: line 1704: /var/lib/shorewall/.modulesdir: Read-only file system cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.modules': Read-only file system [..snip..] /var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1046: /var/lib/shorewall/chains: Read-only file system /var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1048: /var/lib/shorewall/nat: Read-only file system /var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1050: /var/lib/shorewall/proxyarp: Read-only file system /var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1052: /var/lib/shorewall/zones: Read-only file system /var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1065: /var/lib/shorewall/restarted: Read-only file system Processing /etc/shorewall/start ... /usr/share/shorewall/functions: line 2368: /var/lib/shorewall/state: Read-only file system Processing /etc/shorewall/started ... cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.restore': Read-only file system done. Is there any way that this /var/lib/shorewall/ directory can be made rw? Or perhaps even plain old ramdisk is ok, but consist of a default set of files upon boot? Would appreciate insights if the two options above are possible. The other option is for me to change the init.d/shorewall scripts to remountrw and remountro around the start and stop parts, but i would prefer the solution above and it would also help me learn about voyage linux which rocks :) Many thanks in advance, Chris ________________________________ Everything in one place.
