RW fails..... - 22/12/2002 23:27

Ok, I was mucking about, installed preinit v.7, made the /programs0 and /programs1 directories, but forgot to make /programs0/preinit.d. Now I get this and cannot change to R/W mode... help!


empeg:/programs0# rw
empeg:/programs0# rwm
mount: can't find /drive1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
empeg:/programs0# mkdir preinit.d
mkdir: cannot create directory `preinit.d': Read-only file system

And what is site rw? I get:

empeg:/programs0# site rw
bash: site: command not found

the rw and rwm scripts do not include the procedure to mount the /programs0 and /programs1 directory. you need to do it manually if you want to write anything to those partitions.

If you used my script to create the /programsX partitions then it will have also created rop and rwp to manipulate them. It's not clear from your post whether you did or not.

I did, and they didn't seems to work for me. Will try again tomorrow and repost. Thanks so much, btw!
