Re: /boot partition changes when it should not

The filesystem sees no distinction between mounting during boot or mounting

Hmm I knew I should have read to the end of the thread before replying.
As Bob notes in another email, a read-only ext3 filesystem does not
increment the mount count held within the filesystem. My orignal test was
on a read-write mounted /boot.
I have to say this surprised me also but it does make sense.
Cheers,
Rob
