Temporary Write Access On Startup

[tangi]

The question is easy: while booting, how to get write access to a location other than the root partition? Sure this is possible if I mount the root partition with [cmd=]mount -uw /[/cmd] but fsck will complain about a read/write partition even if I roll it back to read only.

Thanks.

fsck(8) should not complain unless there has been a problem at shutdown.

# mount -u /
# mount -a

Run fsck(8) before trying to mount anything as read/write.

Thanks @wblock@, that's what I was looking for.
