mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

This was useful: now i can create directory :)

Problem

I am trying to create a directory through adb shell I have to create a directory in etc folder which was unsuccessful. I managed to figure out that it is linked to `/system/etc` and tried to create in `/system/etc`, but in both cases I was getting "Read only File System". How to make it Read write? I tried switching to super user using "su". I tried modifying `udev/rules.d` in the host machine: ``` created a file 51-android.rules with " SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" " ``` I'm still getting the same "Read only File system". How do I fix this?
