Many thanks for your efforts too - I successfully swicthed to ro / with these advices (the only strange thing related to mount is that I can see the .journal ext3 file in / despite the fact that /dev/root is marked ext3 in /proc/mounts - remounting the / again solves this strange behaviour) Another small problem occurs when trying to keep /dev in ro: # /etc/init.d/sysklogd start Starting system log daemon: syslogdchmod: changing permissions of `/dev/xconsole': Read-only file system Must /dev be in a rw fs? A last remark: should/when will we consider that writing to /etc is a bug?
