Honored ContributorWhen I copy file to /home/ftp directory it show error message "read-only file system".
Then I used chmod to change the access permissions of the directory it also give error message "read-only file system". Pls would some body tell me what did I do wrong? Hawkins
Honored ContributorRomfs is read only, and you cannot put files to it through ftp. You can mount compact flash and put files to it.
Honored ContributorThanks Wentao, Ukit dont have compact flash, is there any round around?
HawkinsHonored ContributorYou can use a bigger ramdisk. Right now the /ramfs.img is very small, you can replace it with a bigger one. But this needs to re-generate the romfs image.
An another alternative is to use nfs, if you have a Linux desktop. Regards, wentaoHonored ContributorYou can mount another ram disk at /home/ftp which is not read only (as is done for the /tmp and /var directories) which will allow you to have a small filespace to do transfers. You can look at the rc script in /etc/rc to see how this is done (first expand /ramfs.img to /dev/ram[2|3] then mount -n /dev/ram2 /home/ftp). You can also use the ext2 fs tools to manually format the ram drive (which is what the expand /ramfs.img is really doing if I'm not mistaken) which may allow you to eek out some more space by tuning the parameters to your typical use. I haven't personally needed to do this though.
