There are a lot of flags used on the kernels command line which are only used in user space (e.g. `confirm'), there are parameters for both the kernel and the user space, and at last but not least there are flags which belongs to the kernel only. The flag `ro' IMHO belongs to both the kernel and the user space ... e.g. I use this flag mostly combinded for booting into single user mode.
The other most used distros doesn't share your opinion. Fedora adds readonlyroot boot parameter, debian doesn't add anything and mounts rw unconditionaly unless you specify ro in fstab.
Beside this not using initrd will force the file system check of the root file system done by boot.rootfsck,
Well, no. I repeat that this happens unless fastboot is specified or being on battery. I can't see a path in the code which would do this in these particular cases.
that is that this scripts is readed from the same partition which is checked. Normally this should be done by the initrd.
Initrd slows down boot significantly and many users simply doesn't use it. Even boot scripts count with this, except this bug. (Beside the fact I haven't tested this situation with initrd, so that I can't verify or refute if it is remounted rw.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
