No problem. I hope I can help with it. |

I want to remount a ext2 that is a constituent of it. Not the unionfs itself. |
| 10 |
I have tried it with |
| 11 |
mount -o loop ext2.img t1 |
| 12 |
mount -o loop squash.img t2 |
| 13 |
mount -t unionfs -o dirs=t1:t2 t3 |
| 14 |
mount -o remount,ro t1 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
and it works. |

The problem is with the chroot that takes place during the boot. |

What is the plan? End /init with a ro / and make /sbin/rc add /memory? |

Before that I had a hack to gentoo linuxrc to use a ext2 root with links to a |
| 29 |
squashfs mount. Assuming that I can solve the remount problem, this will be a |
| 30 |
much cleaner solution with a smaller deviation from the gentoo scripts. |
