I have never seen such a thing. Well... perhaps not.

As far as I know, it is not. Are you sure the /etc/fstab file is correct? 
Please paste it here,
perhaps we can see something.

what gives "file -s /dev/sda5"?


I have seen a similar symptom in 11.2, when the fstab is not correct: initial 
mount (ro) works, but
later there are problems when mounting rw, when fstab is actually read. In my 
case, it mounted.

It is a reported bug, that 11.2 can start with an incorrect fstab entry for /.
