Hi, i'm new to the list but i have read most of the archives for the
past couple months.
I am running an experimental linux distribution called jailbait. It runs
from a 16 megabyte sandisk (disk on a chip). Since there is a limited
amount of write cycles to the sandisk, this distribution tries to mount
everything read only.
Jailbait is based on ELM, an embeddable linux distro. Jailbait adds
cramfs and devfs support, and i think there lies my problem. Actually
several problems.
First of all, the system logger complains that /dev/log doesn't exist.
Does devfs support this functionality?
Also, if you start X-windows as a non-root user, xrvt doesn't start. You
can see that a window quickly appears and then disappears. I think that
this might be a permissions problem with /dev/ptty entries. What are the
permissions for these entries supposed to be?
And finally, when doing a find / -name filename command, I don't get any
results, but only a cryptic message: VFS: inodes busy on changed media.
Any idea what could cause this? Thanks.
