 That would need to be

I think you could shorten that to

mount -uw /

Is that correct?

persistence in freeBSD

2013-09-16 Thread atar

Hi there!

Is there any way to enable persistence between reboots when using FreeBSD  
from a USB stick?


Thanks in advance!

atar.

What exactly do you mean by enable persistence between reboots ?

Thanks for replying, Steve.

As for your question, I mean if it is possible for example to write a file  
to the filesystem and that the file will not be deleted on the next boot.  
actually, I didn't succeed to write a file to the filesystem  because it  
is automatically mounted as readonly filesystem, so my question implies  
also how to mount it also with write access during the boot process.


Regards,

atar.

You'll need the -u option as well.

Yes, it does.  Trying scrolling down further.  The options are listed in

What does the '-u' option do? I've not find in the 'mount' man page any  
explanation on this option.

The man page includes:

 -u  The -u flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file
 system should be changed.  Any of the options discussed above
 (the -o option) may be changed; also a file system can be changed
 from read-only to read-write or vice versa.  An attempt to change
 from read-write to read-only will fail if any files on the file
 system are currently open for writing unless the -f flag is also
 specified.  The set of options is determined by applying the
 options specified in the argument to -o and finally applying the
 -r or -w option.

That's strange. I'm currently looking at man mount on a
FreeBSD 8.2 system and the following paragraph is readable:

 -u  The -u flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file
 system should be changed.  Any of the options discussed above
 (the -o option) may be changed; also a file system can be changed
 from read-only to read-write or vice versa.  An attempt to change

 specified.  The set of options is determined by applying the
 options specified in the argument to -o and finally applying the
 -r or -w option.

The -u flag is referenced in other sections of the manpage.
