 |
|
I'm using gentoo with kernel 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 and a md autodetect root device (mdadm for administration, i guess this does not matter) and reiserfs 3 on top of it for my / filesystem.
I tried to use udev, but after a kernel panic i switched back to the save haven of static device files. But now, the | Code: | | mount -n -o remount,rw / |
command in /etc/init.d/checkroot balks with
| Quote: |
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option
|
despite a cleanly and clearly recognizing the / fs and mounting it ro.
mount does of course not tell me what it is trying to do. Does anybody know what the -v option of mount is good for?
I found a hack around by changing the command to | Code: | | mount -n -o remount,rw /dev/root |
and removing /etc/mtab at the end of the shutdown/reboot process. This seems to work, but looks very strange to me. When the system is up, issuing the command results in the same nonsense.
Has somebody experienced similar problems?
What is this /dev/root device, which appears during the boot process?
I would like to know what mount is looking up in /etc/mtab and what "real" mount it is performing?
Any hints appreciated.

Did you compile RAID5 into your kernel as built-in or as a module?
(That's the only question I can think of.) |

| The md driver is compiled into the kernel. |
