Device, File system

Looks very standard Linux box such as;

[admin@localhost flash]$ ls /
bin  boot  dev etc  export  home  lib media  mnt  opt  persist  proc root  sbin  selinux  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var
[admin@localhost flash]$

You can see the flash memory on /mnt/flash. Boot up parameter or some are here.

[admin@localhost flash]$ ls /mnt
flash  flash-recover.conf  flash.conf  usb1  usb1.conf
[admin@localhost flash]$ ls -l /mnt/flash

Remount as read write mode

Initialy, root filesystem mounted as read only mode as follows;

none on / type aufs (ro,si=e0ba4725)
/tmp and some directories are "rw" mounted as follows;

bash-3.2# mount |grep /tmp
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=411104k)
tmpfs on /var/tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=411104k)
bash-3.2#

To change the mode of the root directory to "rw", use mount command like this.

 

# mount -o rw,remount /
