The kernel I am using reports as 3.13.0-32-generic, it was pulled from the Ubuntu trusty git repo, here: git://[1]kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git That link was found on the following page: [2]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide?action=show&redirect=Ke rnelTeam%2FKernelGitGuide The git log shows the hash 446c276507d9791be4612b30745d7789b266d87b as the last commit before this version. I would be happy to update the kernel again if that would be helpful. I will add the fsck calls immediately before and after the rsync, and another again just before reboot (there is a grub-install call between the two. I doubt it is related, but you never know.) I will also do some additional troubleshooting on the inability to remount readonly.

If you cannot remount readonly, it means files under /ro is still opened for writing. Does it happen after rsync only? And lsof doesn't show anything?

Agreed. It won't solve the problem. I'd suggest you to stick on ext2 for the investigation. If I start reading ubuntu kernel, then should I try trusty kernel 3.13.0-33.58 or else? J. R.
