Q&A / how to boot generic from a script run while booted on aufs

« on: December 20, 2012, 06:10:12 AM »

is there a way to change something while am booted as in aufs  mode so that i can  boot in generic mode at the next reboot. i wanted all my students to run a script so they can make a change to the base system partition. i don't want them knowing  about the Esc then E option as it might lead to a lot of pranks using the system restore option.

tanks lots for ze response BUT i uped my base system partition to 50GB just to see  but its still using my user change partition . is there a way that i can up the user changes partition. and all dpkg or any kinda installs are using the same partition.  this is what i get whn i do "df -h" from ze terminal

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
aufs                          1.1G  489M  493M  50% /
tmpfs                         497M   28K  497M   1% /tmp
tmpfs                         199M  844K  198M   1% /run
/dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM      50G  4.7G   45G  10% /ro
udev                          489M  4.0K  489M   1% /ro/dev
/root/dev/disk/by-label/USER  1.1G  489M  493M  50% /rw
tmpfs                         497M  672K  496M   1% /var/log
tmpfs                         497M     0  497M   0% /var/tmp
none                          489M  4.0K  489M   1% /dev
none                          5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                          497M  188K  496M   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda3                     182G  2.9G  170G   2% /home

so every time i install something /root/dev/disk/by-label/USER  goes low while /dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM  stays as it is. then i run out of space and cant install anymore.
