Thank you. Could you post here the scripts (or send me them to me?). I fear 
the problem is not with the script but with the need of creating a initrd 
image with aufs to allow for temporary storage of information on the RAM, 
as it is done with Live CDs.

Would mounting rootfs read-only be possible without compromising 
functioning of the system? 
I'm sure there must be someone expert out there...
