Hi there, I've been using null mounts for the last while to maintain a readonly filesystem under OpenBSD 3.6. For example: /etc/fstab: /home/user/dir /var/www/dir null ro,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
I just tried this on an OpenBSD 3.9 system and it fails on the helper program for null (ie. mount_null). I notice mount_null was dropped as of OpenBSD 3.8, can someone tell me first of all why this was done (the changelog only shows comments about realpath failure). Secondly is there a replacement or workaround which will give me the kind of behaviour I'm looking for? Specifically I'm looking to have a writable directory mounted read-only in another location. Svnd mounts aren't the solution I'm looking for, I'm fairly sure. G.0kita
