This may be a real dumb question, but how do I get around the NeXT
machines partitioning the file system so that I can't write to various
partitions? Specifically, I want to put some files (i.e. TeX fonts) in
/usr/lib/tex, but the machine thinks (knows) it is a read only file
system. I know that /etc/fstab says it is read only also, but /etc
is also read-only, so i can't change it either. I've tried umounting,
but the device is obviously busy.
When I first set up the machines, given the lack of documentation, I
only assigned machine names, but no disk names. Could this be the source
of my problem. I also want to run NFS between our machines, but since
I can't change /etc/fstab, it makes it hard.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Peter
