Hi,

If the root file system is initially mounted read-only, there is a possible race between rc-once.service and the systemd-remount-fs.service. If rc-once.service sees the root filesystem is mounted read-only, then it will temporarily remount it read-write and later mount it read-only again. Meanwhile, systemd-remount-fs.service will also remount the root file system as specified by /etc/fstab which could be read-write. Depending on the ordering, it is possible for the root file-system to end up mounted read-only when it should have ended up mounted read-write.

As long as the two services do not run simultaneously, the root file system should end up mounted in the correct state. However, I do not know what the intended order is supposed to be. Perhaps it is intentionally system-dependent?
