In which case, a read-only root partition would be more appropriate instead. I have separate partitions for /home /var /usr /tmp /boot and /. I'd like to instantiate a unique but identical domain without replicating the entire system. /usr would easily mount read-only. The rest would probably need to be copied to a virtual device on a single / mount. Any guidance on this? Thanks! John Joganic |
