Hi, I am trying to boot and suse-9.3 client with nfsroot. The Suse-9.3 client is diskless which is why I need it to boot from a server with nfsroot("/") readonly. Everything seems to be working fine except for udev. When the client boots it complains about /dev being read only. I need /dev to be entirely a tmpfs and to get populated at boot time by udev. I changed this line in /etc/init.d/boot.localfs: echo "Mounting local file systems..." mount -fv -t proc proc /proc mount -fv -t sysfs sysfs /sys mount -fv -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ mount -fv -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm rc_status but that did not work. I still get the message that /dev is read only here is the boot message: Mounting local file systems... proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) done Starting udevd touch: cannot touch `/dev/devperms': Read-only file system Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any idea hot to get /dev to be a tmpfs and get populated by udev at boot?
