@dhdurgee:
I always get ln's args in the wrong order, too, it's *physical target* first, then *new link name*
.
I find it utterly confusing, because logically, you represent it the other way around: link => target.
So, in this case, the error is because you can't have symlinks on vfat
.
But you can have symlinks pointing *to* vfat.
You'll just have to mntroot rw first, because otherwise you can't *create* anything new in the rootfs, link or otherwise
.
