Just to shed some light: mount relys on /etc/mtab which cant be rewritten as the root is ro, so the mtab it's reading is the mtab you had when shutting down. /proc/mounts should be correct if you need the info.
Dont know why mtab isn't removed on shutdown though, is it not possible to use the -a swich to mount without it? I suspect that mount would fallback to /proc/mounts if mtab where missing. /John > So as I poke around I notice that the root filesystem is still mounted > read only even though mount clearly shows it mounted "(rw)".
