Interestingly '-o rw' is not in the manpage, which is how I originally discovered that '-w' was working. One script in rc.d appears to use it. However I think it would be better to fix the mount options they way they were. I noticed also that if you go multi-user after a crash, you'll get the mfs mounts noted above and in addition the only way to mount / is to reboot. Dropping to single user and attempting to mount -w after the fsck completes complains about invalid argument or invalid device /dev/ad0s1a. --- etc/rc.d/root.org Fri Dec 2 08:48:15 2005 +++ etc/rc.d/root Fri Dec 2 08:48:29 2005 _at__at_ -23,7 +23,7 _at__at_ [Nn][Oo] | '') ;; *) - if ! mount -u -o rw /; then + if ! mount -u -w /; then echo 'Mounting root filesystem rw failed, startup aborted' /bin/kill -QUIT $$ --- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);Received on Fri Dec 02 2005 - 16:03:03 UTC
