manual grml to hd - read only root fs
Hi,
I did a simple
rsync -aHSx --devices --specials / $new_os_mnt/
instead of grml2hd. All seems fine just that the root fs is still mounted read only.
what's the trick to turn rsync'ed grml hd image into a normal system, which mounts root fs rw, and mounts other fstab entries as well?
Thanks

Do you have an entry for the root file system in its /etc/fstab file? If not, the root file system will never be mounted read/write.
For example
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
substituting the correct device for /dev/sda1 and the correct file system type (of necessary) for ext3.
You can also use a volume label or UUID instead of a device name, which is useful if you start moving drives around.
Thanks for the respond, Jason.

Yes, I have. And I have other fstab entries as well, which are all not mounted.
PS. I've removed /etc/grml_cd file.
Thanks
