Hi folks.<br>
<br>
I have since switched to ext2 since my original message below, yet I
am<br>
still seeing the same behavior - / is being remounted every 5
minutes. I want<br>
to avoid this, to save wear & tear on the compact flash card.<br>
<br>
Nothing in cron would be causing this...any ideas? I'm running
voyage 0.6.5,<br>
and the file system is mounted thus (ouput from mount command):<br>
<br>
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS / ext2 ro,relatime,errors=continue 0 0<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
<br>

<span>My first guess is that writing to the journal on EXT3
requires the FS<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<span>to be writable. We use EXT2 on all of our flash based
media to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<span>minimize the number of writes.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<br>
<span>We once had a similar issue but it was an incorrectly
formatted cron<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<span>entry. We have a custom script that remounts the FS as
writable, then<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<span>does an aptitude update, package download, and simulates
an install,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
<span>then emails the results. The error in crontab caused this
to be run<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>
