Or you could remount / read-only, which generally involves booting into single-user mode or switching to single-user mode and shutting down processes which may be writing to the disk. If you're going to reboot afterward (though it's not strictly necessary) you'll probably want to look at the -f and -n options to mount. (I think that most distributions' shutdown scripts do it this way, using two calls to mount(8), else you'd be greeted with an fsck on boot every time.) -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
