> Would you care to expand a bit? Might help others in your situation. i will try ;-) Since i debootstrapt my system and have different partitions for /, swap, /usr, /var, /tmp and /home directories i had to set the mount options in /etc/fstab manually. The easiest way was to take an existing, working /etc/fstab file, which in my case, since i am using lvm2 with labels on my other machine was:
*** LABEL=root / ext2 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=lv_usr /usr ext3 defaults,noatime,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_var /var ext3 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_tmp /tmp ext3 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_home /home ext2 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 *** i simply changed LABEL=lv_* with /dev/sda? for correct partitions. As a result the partitions seemed to be mounted read only for the user. And X crashed with different errors :-/ I still was able to write in /home and /tmp. But after changing the mount options for the last 3 to rw,nosuid,nodev and rw,nodev for /usr X works without problems. I am not sure which partition and which option made the difference. Anyway thanks for your help!
