Yes but there's no need to quote the entire mail you're replying to.

Actually, it doesn't matter that the root is RO, just that /mnt exists
so it can be used as a mountpoint.

And, BTW, I've just noticed that, whilst $lagg_tmp is parameterised.
/mnt is also hard-coded in several places in the script.  Sorry about
that.

AFAIR, I use a separate ramdisk because /etc/rc.d/lagg runs very early
and other mountpoints cannot be relied on.
