<body class='hmmessage'>Hi Wayne,<BR>
<BR>
Just re-did the instructions from scratch:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
voyage:/var/lib/shorewall# mv /var/lib/shorewall /ro/var/lib/shorewall<BR>voyage:/var/lib/shorewall# ln -s /rw//var/lib/shorewall /var/lib/shorewall<BR>remountro<BR>
fastreboot<BR>
<BR>However on start its complaining shorewall directory is a symbolic link!<BR>
<BR>voyage:/etc/shorewall# shorewall start<BR>Compiling...<BR>
Initializing...<BR> ERROR: /var/lib/shorewall is a Symbolic Link<BR><BR>I will try and hunt in the scripts it i can just set the above directory elsewhere to the ram disk /var/tmp<BR>
<BR>
Any ideas on the above?<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks,<BR>
<BR>
Chris<BR><BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Hi,<BR> <BR>I am trying to get shorewall running and whilst it installs from apt-get fine, i am having issues with the Read only file system. Shorewall seems to write the compiled scripts into /var/lib/shorewall. When i run remountrw there is no problem, however with remountro hitting 'shorewall start' in the shell gives a whole raft of errors:<BR><BR>Compiling...<BR>/usr/share/shorewall/functions: line 1704: /var/lib/shorewall/.modulesdir: Read-only file system<BR>cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.modules': Read-only file system<BR><BR>[..snip..]<BR><BR>/var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1046: /var/lib/shorewall/chains: Read-only file system<BR>/var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1048: /var/lib/shorewall/nat: Read-only file system<BR>/var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1050: /var/lib/shorewall/proxyarp: Read-only file system<BR>/var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1052: /var/lib/shorewall/zones: Read-only file system<BR>/var/lib/shorewall/.start: line 1065: /var/lib/shorewall/restarted: Read-only file system<BR>Processing /etc/shorewall/start ...<BR>/usr/share/shorewall/functions: line 2368: /var/lib/shorewall/state: Read-only file system<BR>Processing /etc/shorewall/started ...<BR>cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.restore': Read-only file system<BR>done.<BR> <BR>Is there any way that this /var/lib/shorewall/ directory can be made rw? Or perhaps even plain old ramdisk is ok, but consist of a default set of files upon boot? Would appreciate insights if the two options above are possible.<BR> <BR>The other option is for me to change the init.d/shorewall scripts to remountrw and remountro around the start and stop parts, but i would prefer the solution above and it would also help me learn about voyage linux which rocks :)<BR> <BR>Many thanks in advance,<BR> <BR>Chris</SPAN></P>
