(In reply to Jeff Mahoney from comment #38) > Does mount --bind -oro,remount <mnt> work for you? If I call this from the commandline, yes, works. If I add "bind" to /etc/fstab (ro,bind), no, this doesn't seem to work. But we need something for /etc/fstab for the boot process. Beside that, what would be the side effects of using this option? I used the example from bsc#1202276 to test, since this triggers this problem very reliable.
