I'm mounting it with relatime. Mount says: /usr type xfs (rw,relatime,barrier,logbufs=8) I'm not sure why that should matter, though. > What happens if you do the remounting pre/post manually instead? $ sudo mount -o remount,ro /usr mount: /usr is busy Since I can't do it manually, I'm not surprised it can't be done by apt, but some of the questions people are asking make me wonder if it's an interaction between XFS and apt, or if it's a problem with ext3 as well. I have no way to test it; maybe someone else can chime in on that. > I used to have /usr and /boot mounted ro routinely in Sarge with no > problem. Me, too, which is why this is annoying me tremendously. -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
