Your first Bugzilla entry: ;) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465864 I had been changing so much just trying to get the /tmp issue resolved that I "stepped back" and had to mark down all of the changes I made and tried them in combination. I had previously tried comparing the stateless setup in RHEL to the livecd-tools, and I think that's why I kept missing the sequence. So in my testing, I finally realized the obviousness of the truth ... - Change readonly-root - Disable init script network - Remove various files/dirs I had gone at it in the opposite order, and changed a lot of things that broke others. It started when I noted that /tmp was mounted read-only, but everything else (including /var/tmp) was tmpfs and read/write. Even though /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root is documented, clearing out various directories and disabling S10network is not as obvious, until you systematically attempt trial'n error. I didn't see the network init script disablement documented anywhere, but it does seem obvious now, given how stateless works. I marked it "moderate" in severity, but "low" in priority, given the state of this tool's possible "deprecation." If I missed it, I know someone else could have missed it. I mean, I was dissecting the initrd and rc.sysinit, thinking it was there.
