I have wondered about how to set up a system with a read only / and /usr partition, but as you say things like mount wanting to write into /etc really spoil the idea. Does anyone have a list of issues that stop /
One possibility is to use a "union" file system, overlying a RW FS over the RO / and /usr. That way it should be fairly simple to modify files transparently as well as to later seeing which files have been modified. Union filesystems appeared with BSD4.4 and won't probably be available on most UNIXes. But they're a neat idea, and if you ask for it, who knows, maybe your vendor will provide it in the next release? Just a few ramblings. jr
