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...
