01:37 <m1n1m4[m]> mps: GREAT!!!

10:32 <m1n1m4[m]> i've been trying to mount /tmp on ram while having the USB mounted as RO. Do not know if it is possible? Found a service called mount-ro and set it up to sysinit which effectively mounts the USB as ro. Is it possible now to setup the temp dirs to ram while preserving the mount-ro service ? Thank you

10:40 <mps> m1n1m4[m]: /etc/fstab

10:40 <mps> tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=10%,mode=1777 0 0

10:53 <m1n1m4[m]> i tried exactly that but then sda2 was not readonly anymore ( as before with rc-update mount-ro sysinit ), it was remounted as RW. So i made another partition sda3 to try and separate things and put /tmp out of sda2 ( root partition ). Still not working, do not know why.

10:54 <m1n1m4[m]> used cfdisk to create the sda3 partition as temp partition, but i am not sure i formatted it correctly, it is using ext4

10:56 <m1n1m4[m]> thanks

10:57 <mps> I didn't used RO rootFS for long so not sure at current state and how to do that what you are trying

11:28 <m1n1m4[m]> OK thanks

13:41 <m1n1m4[m]> mps: DONE!

13:43 <m1n1m4[m]> did as you said, and after i mapped the folders and files needed change there

13:43 <m1n1m4[m]> ex /var/tmp -> /temp

13:44 <m1n1m4[m]> ex2 /var/log ->/tmp

13:44 <m1n1m4[m]> etc

13:44 <m1n1m4[m]> with symlinks

13:45 <m1n1m4[m]> Xorg needs to write the log

13:46 <m1n1m4[m]> the only thing is fstab mountins have to be called

13:46 <m1n1m4[m]> after boot

14:00 <mps> m1n1m4[m]: ah, I didn't understood that you want to use xorg and other things which needs to write to rootFS

14:01 <mps> then yes, you have all files/dirs in some RW places

15:17 <m1n1m4[m]> yap

15:31 <m1n1m4[m]> BTW i found this great article about it

15:31 <m1n1m4[m]> did not follow for the moment.
