In this scenario:

lilo: linux 1 <ENTER>

Going to runlevel 1.  Once there the fs is read write as is normal.

`touch file' works.  The mount command shows all the partitions listed
in fstab as auto, are mounted.

Now if I give the `umount -a' command  I see the usual message that /
is busy but everthing else is umounted.  In my setup that means only /
is mounted.

Now `touch file' fails and the fs is reported as read only.  I don't
remember this being the case in the past.  Also if I individually
umount all but / instead of `using umount -a' the file system remains
read write.

The umount man page gives no indication that this will or should
happen.  The closest comment there concerns the -r flag which will
cause a failed `umount' command to remount the target partition read
only.

I'm not using the -r flag and it does not say it is the default.  Can
someone confirm if this is normal behavior?
