You'd need to recreate the /proc directory; the system uses it as the mount point (of the proc filesystem). You can safely recreate the /tmp directory; its content is always deleted on reboot. BTW, I have all my partitions running on reiserfs; problem is, when the system booted up, / partition is always mounted read-only, so that the transaction log is always replayed on, well, read-only filesystem. I have done update-rc.d -f checkfs.sh remove, so that fsck wouldn't be done on the system. But that doesn't make the root partition mounted read-write on boot. The question is, how can I set the system so that the / partition mounted read-write? TIA, Oki
