The first option was add the "ro" flag to the fstab file, but it's ignored and the system leaves the root fs in "rw" mode. The second (and desesperate) option was add "mount -o ro /" to /etc/rc.local which seems cause a kernel panic (no suprise here)
You're missing the -u parameter to mount. But, don't worry about that, because if you look in /etc/rc you'll see this line:
mount -uw / # root on nfs requires this, others aren't hurt try removing it. --On 25 November 2005 13:10 +0100, knitti wrote:
there are recent postings mentioning that it won't be neccessary to have a ro / on a modern CF card.
from CF longevity point of view, that's correct. but mounting RO will mean the filesystem will be clean after a power failure. given the multi-thousand-Km journey to a remote site which is known to have intermittent power, this is well worth doing.
