how to remount / correctly?

2005-08-09 Thread Anonymous
Last time I tried to umount / and mount it again with different
options I wedged my system and had to reboot. I think I even tried
editing /etc/fstab first then type umount / ; mount / all on one
line.

What's the correct way to umount and re-mount /?

Thanks.

mount -o remount /

(but I'm not sure whether that would work for the root filesystem)

Actually, it should, because you can mount -o remount,ro / to make 
your root filesystem read-only.
