Result: can't do much until manually remounting / rw
Booting 13.1's 3.11.6 init mounts / rw. Either I have to add rw to cmdline, or remount / rw before doing much of anything is possible.
Is this expected with 3.12.1? Expected of Dracut? Bug? Explicit rw now required for / in fstab?
Your root filesystem is likely to have errors.. dracut does NOT mount / ro unless explicitly told to by using --ro-mnt option.. and currently depending on your setup, having the root filesystem listed in fstab or even having a /etc/fstab file at all may not be required.
hard to tell without logs, boot with "debug" in the cmdline.
Too late now. The problem eventually went away "on its own". I think what happened is I forgot to change the UUID when I changed the volume label before mounting the clone, mounted it, then changed the UUID while still mounted. I later booted it several times both to 13.2 and older installations, and something, likely 12.1 or 13.1, likely fsck'd it automatically it along the way. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
