But mount(8) says (regarding -u): also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write or vice versa. An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any files on the file system are currently open for writing unless the -f flag is also specified. and I tried it on /altroot which surely had no files open on it.
