[Voyage-linux] RW/RO File System

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hi Punky,

Thanks for getting back to me mate, I appreciate it. I've taken a look into
my /ect/fstab file and it looks as follows:

#/dev/hda1       /       ext2    defaults,noatime,rw     0       0
proc            /proc   proc    defaults                0       0
tmpfs           /rw     tmpfs   defaults,size=8M        0       0

Now to me this would indicate that I have 8Mb of file storage mounted we RW
in my /rw/ directory, however, when I place files in here and reboot the
system, they disappear, is that what's meant to happen? I need to keep these
files even once a reboot has occurred.

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,

Read /etc/fstab and you should be able to figure it out.

Punky
