I have almost the same problem, I am using a cramfs root filesystem, not a ramdisk cramfs. When I use the very same content on ext2 mounted read-only everything work as expected, but with cramfs some daemons don't start (mingetty for example)... I mount tmpfs in /tmp and files touched in /var are symlinks to files in /tmp... I don't have a clue of what goes wrong, hints a more than welcome ;) linux is 2.4.5-ac15+patch for cramfs by Daniel Quinlan+Mathias Killian (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-01/1064.html) Regards, Sept -- Stéphane Casset LOGIDÉE sàrl Se faire plaisir d'apprendre 3, quai Kléber, Tour Sébastopol Tel : +33 388 23 69 77 casset@logidee.com F-67080 STRASBOURG Cedex 3 Fax : +33 388 23 70 00 http://logidee.com
