Yes, it is mounted according to /proc/mounts (here is the whole, for your amusement) : - - - - - - - - rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/ro_root ext3 ro,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=writeback 0 0 none /mnt/rw_root tmpfs rw,dirsync,relatime 0 0 none / aufs rw,relatime,si=807d837c 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 rc-svcdir /lib/rc/init.d tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,devgid=85,devmode=664 0 0 binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 - - - - - - - - Also, I can run the command later after the script by hand: - - - - - - - - nibbler ~ # mount -vo remount,ro /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 on /mnt/ro_root type ext3 \ (ro,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=writeback) - - - - - - - - If I try to remount r/w, /var/log/messages prints: Nov 28 14:59:23 nibbler klogd: EXT3-fs (sda1): warning: couldn't \ remount RDWR because of unprocessed orphan inode list.
