Comments are welcome. >I didn't patch any boot scripts at all - they are pure RH ones. It's true, that the RH 6.2 scripts only remount the root-FS read-only before rebooting if it is on ext2. This is only true for the root-FS (not any other FS), and I could check this only on RH 6.2 (Don't know about RH 7.x, I'd guess that they fixed it). If you don't have your root-FS on Reiser / XFS / JFS, you have no problem with RH 6.x The FAQ entry from namesys is just misleading. Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
