This is a repost from a thread brought out into the open for quicker reference. If you need your Filesystem to remain in RW for whatever reason on a reboot
Follow the steps (Be mindful of the spaces in the commands, I recommend copying and pasting them exactly as I've written them here):
When you reboot your Mini, type mount and the following line should appear somewhere:
If you see the (rw,noatime) portion, then your filesystem should be defaulting to rw.
To undo the filesystem changes, simply # rm /etc/init.d/S99startup

deerwings, What are benefits of RW and what are disadvantages? (I just made U-boot root access for 1st time, now I'm lost) Btw, did anybody put Midnight Commander or so at Mini, is it possible? I mean, I can't use apt-get from Mini and it is too clumsy (for me) to build it on "unknown architecture" (well, for now).

I mean, I can't use apt-get from Mini and it is too clumsy (for me) to build it on "unknown architecture" (well, for now). For some reasons, some D81 files don't seem to load properly if the filesystem is in RO state and I'm not sure why. For example, the SSI games. They need to be able to read and write to the disk image and when it does the temporary copy, it seems to act as if it's opening the D81 directly and not simply temporarily mounting a RW version of the image in the /tmp directory like others. I'm not sure if it's a quirk of the D81 driver or not. Advantages: It's a lot easier to copy stuff around your filesystem when it's RW instead of having to manually set it RW every time you want to do something with the files in your carousel. Disadvantages: You might accidentally overwrite some system files you don't mean to.
