hi all –
i use VirtualBox to test out new RL installations.
this may be pretty minor, but still has me curious. when i did a NEW INSTALL, i log in as root, i cannot even do a touch x.x; without getting a read-only error.
google-AI gave me this command as something of a workaround:
mount -o remount,rw / ;
i have used virtualbox dozens of times now with RL and have never had to do this before before.
any thoughts or suggestions why this might appear to be necessary?
I have two instances of Rocky running in a Vbox vm on a Fedora43 host and neither exhibited the symptoms you describe. The latest was RL10 installed 6 months ago or so. Were you testing any security hardening features available as install options?
no certainly nothing out the ordinary. there are typically only a few memorized changes i make to the defaults, things like “pre-allocation space”, nbr of CPU’s, etc.
i too have used this extensively. this issue appears to be new, at least for me
7.1.12 r169651 (Qt6.5.3)
huh… just ran again, this time no issues.
