Is there a way (other than re-doing the mount points with -rw) to make client prefer the read/write

Short of changing the code in the client, no, not that I'm aware of.

Also, is it true, that if I specify -rw to fs mkmount, this will "stick" (not change) and the mount point will remain read/write even when replication sites for the volume exist?

Yes. It is.

We use this trick to maintain off-site backups of user homedirectories - we mount the user volumes with the -rw flag, and use 'vos release' to maintain a read-only copy of the volume at an off-site location.
