I believe the flag may indeed be unnecessary; the source for umount indicates it will not attempt to update /etc/mtab when unmounting the root partition, regardless of its read/write status, because the partition ends up being remounted read-only by the kernel anyway. I would suggest the sysvinit scripts should indeed be changed. -- Robert Leslie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
