[linuxdc-dev]NFS Mounting problem

[Adrian M. <ad...@mc...>]

I have been NFS mounting my shell (busybox) successfully but I am now 
attempting to mount the m17n GNU/Debian distro but I am having serious 
difficulties...

I can mount the files, but only as read only.

All the commands to NFS are rw and I think it is the boot loader 
(kernel-boot.S) that is forcing a read only mount.

I had exactly the same problem with busybox but simply fixed this by 
remounting the NFS filesystem in rcS: mount -o remount,rw /. This won't work 
here (it seems the mount supplied is not as flexible as the one in the 
busybox shell?)

There were issues about the kernel mismatch (the m17n distro is built for 
2.4.5 and I am using 2.4.10-pre6) but this is secondary, as far as I can see, 
to the issue of rw mounting the filesystem.

Has anybody else had this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?

Thanks

Adrian
