I would like to mount /usr as read-only and not mount /boot at all by default. This seems to work so far, but updating or installing new packages fails. On debian/ubuntu, I could solve this by setting

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Now I am curious: Is there any way to get a similar functionality on opensuse?
Please file a feature request if you think it's worth.
You'll get asked for the intention of your approach. I expect the "usual" this is more secure or this prevents you from deleteting /usr.
Not working as root or using sudo might be more efficient.
If you want to have / on Flash/SSD disc, it would be usefull minimize the writes on it. The readonly root make a sense in this case. Regards MV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
