You can come up : with an MFS and put everything you need to write on in that (via union : mount or symlinks or whatever). At timing solutions we found union mount to be a non-starter. Too unstable for long term operations. symlinks are what we use. I actually lied a little in a previous message. We do have a RW partition, but we only store application sepcific data on it. Of course our application doesn't have users who need to change their passwords.... And even if they did, a simple mount -uw / ; passwd ; mount -ur / would do the trick. Can't do that with cdrom :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
