Hello. > > I meant that "/dev must be mounted for read-write mode" > > Again, why? You can mount / partition for read-only mode if you wish to do so. But you cannot make /dev directory for read-only. You won't be able to login to the system because /sbin/mingetty fails to "chown/chmod" /dev/tty* if /dev is mounted for read-only mode. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
