<p>Hello guys,</p>
<p>I have Raspberry Pi 3 with minimal raspbian image based on jessie
and I use it as access point. I did that using this tutorial:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point.md">https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point.md</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The thing is that I made / read-only to prevent any possible
corruption caused by power loss. Now the problem of course is that
dnsmasq fails to open the lease file for writing and I get the
following error:</p>
<p>dnsmasq: cannot open or create lease file
/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: read-only file system</p>
<p>Note that in my case, I do not care if I get another IP next time
I connect - it's not important at all.<br>
</p>
<p>Now as I see it, I have several options:</p>
<ul>
<li>disable somehow leasing so that dnsmasq doesn't fail on
startup</li>
<li>Persuade dnsmasq to search for the lease file elsewhere (I
still have rw home)</li>
<li>Mount the file somehow to RAM disk</li>
</ul>
<p>What would be the best solution and how to do it? Any ideas? And
yeah, I am a Linux noob...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
