[Voyage-linux] readonly/readwrite filesystem

[Pascal de Bruijn]

Hi,

I noticed the ro/rw problems has been solved by symlinks.

Has anybody considered using tmpfs and unionfs? For example:

/dev/hda1  ->  /      (ro)
tmpfs      ->  /rw    (rw)
unionfs    ->  /rw,/

This would mean the whole filesystem would be writable, yet /dev/hda1
would be read only. All changes to / would be written to /rw, instead
of /dev/hda1.

Using a script /rw could be synced to, say for example /dev/hda2, a
seperate partition.

Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn
