Hello, at debian-user-de runs a thread at the moment to mount /etc ro and a consens is that in /etc only static files should be stored. lvm needīs to write /etc at bootup and for backup-copies. I would prefer to stor the files that need to be writeable in /var. What do you think about a change for the next release? (or is there already a compile-function?). This would solve the problems with / ro at startup, isnīt it? Uli -- 'The box said, 'Requires Windows 95 or better', so i installed Linux - TKK 5
