Re: Solaris as an applicance - Read-only FS &

afraid not sorry.

This is something I need to go back to as its the last part
in a project that I'm working on that is 99% complete.  All
is booting in read-only apart from the system console which
is not really a problem with the system console service, its
something with SMF which is preventing it from running or
something.

Still having problems with this :<

I'm at the state where:

If I mount up / as rw at start up (in the pre_smf script),
the O/S successfully boots.
The problem however is that nothing shows up as mounted when
I type "mount".

If I don't overwrite the mount point of /etc on start up (in
the pre_smf script), the O/S successfully boots and
"mount" shows all mounted devices.

When the pre_smf script runs, the only processes that are
active on the system are:
sched pid 0
init pid 1
pageout pid 2
fsflush pid 3
pre_smf pid 6

A pfiles on all of these processes doesn't work (system
process) except for init which only shows inittab as being
open.  I have put a link in so that it points at
/lib/inittab and it doesn't require this file to be
read-write anyway.

So the question remains is.

1) How and why does mounting over the top of /etc when no
files are open screw up showing all existing mount points?
2) Why only when the root file system is read-only does
startd hang and the console-login service doesn't start up.

I think if I can solve (1), I can solve (2), but there is no
logical explanation for it.  I'm missing something...
