Can you not remount your drive read/write: mount -w / The 'r' means raw. It's an unbuffered character device, whereas the non'r' one is a buffered block device. The same's true for my scsi disk, ie: crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 0x00010002 Aug 6 1995 /dev/rsd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00010002 Aug 6 1995 /dev/sd0 ^ ^ C=character, B=block.
