Cacko rom 121 mounting filesystem RO?
« on: June 06, 2004, 01:57:43 pm »
Hi all -

Well I have progressed on from the original Sharp ROM, and have  flashed my 860 with the Cacko 121 ROM.  Is it normal that it mounts / ro (rather than rw)?  My fresh mtab looks like this:

/dev/root / jffe2 ro 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/ram1 /dev minix rw 0 0
/dev/loop0 /usr cramfs ro 0 0
/dev/mtdblock3 /home jffe2 rw,noatime 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0

How can I get it to mount / rw from boot?  Sorry if this is a bit  more linux-admin centric, but its not obvious why it is mounting the root filesystem read-only.

Thx,

C.

Well, a manual mount -o remount,rw / in shell sets the root filesystem to rw, but /usr is something else.

#mount -o remount,rw /usr
Can\'t find /usr in /etc/fstab

This is a pain because I can\'t do things like set secuity in smb.conf or other files in the /usr mountpoint.  Any ideas where /usr is getting mounted ro if not fstab?  In fact, edits to /etc/fstab are not being picked up on reboot.

What am I overlooking?

/usr is actialy a cramfs image, you cannot modify it. If yu want to edit smb.conf - it\'s actualy a symlink to the file in ROM. You can delete the symlink and copy the actual file in place if it. Then you\'ll be able to edit the file.  Same goes for all othert files that are symlinks to the files in ROM
