No, /etc can be nicely ro. That is, /, /usr, /etc, ... can be. The log storage and the user homes, as well as a tmp filesystem rw, rest ro. Works nicely, I have 4 of such systems running. Yes, updates are a bit annoying (especially as those systems also disallow any further rw mounts after boot), as they include reboots or remounts, depending on if you block further remounts or not. But thats a minor thing. -- bye, Joerg But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder.
