In a diskless mode, then you could have /usr as a read-only NFS/cachefiles mount, and use tmpfs for /etc and /var. Ideally /etc can be read-only too during operation but that is definitely one where we hit things like LVM userspace writing there in the background: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1366584 But if something required writing to /usr at runtime in Fedora/CentOS that should be considered a bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-unionfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
