I'm trying to do the same on OSF1/Digital Unix v4.0

This doesn't want to work for me - keeps saying 'device busy'. I can't get
a man page for 'mount' up, because the root fs (and therefore /tmp) is
read-only, and I don't have another Digital Unix 4.0 box to get a man
page up on :-) Could anyone kindly point me towards the right options for
remounting a mounted filesystem read-write?

Thanks,

Dan
