I didn't post before because I thought I didn't have access to a Unix box. Then I remembered that there is some old iron here. FWIW, here are some samples from a session I just ran:
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Tue Sep 2 17:51:37 BST 2003
% ls -ld /bin lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 7 Aug 22 2003 /bin@ -> usr/bin/
% ls -l /bin/sh -rwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 149840 Apr 15 2003 /bin/sh*
% df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/disk/dsk0a 240M 208M 7666K 97% / /dev/disk/dsk0g 1923M 1335M 395M 78% /usr
Ok, question then. What will happen during boot, if partition /usr fails the initial filecheck? It can not be mounted, it has to be repaired first; but the system can not drop you into a repair mode with a shell, because the shell resides in /usr/bin/ What does that unix do? Does it mount /usr readonly? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
