Simon, I've never really dug into initramfs-tools enough to know for sure, but my guess has always been that the rootfs got remounted based on what's in /etc/fstab, which as far as I know is handled by systemd. But perhaps the initramfs remounts the rootfs read-write, and then it is remounted a 3rd time based on what's in /etc/fstab? (Which could technically be read-only if the ro option was specific in fstab).
As far as our imaging system... yes, we have a golden image tarball which we unpack after we create and mount the needed partitions. But I already had work-arounds in our imaging system before I filed these bugs, needed because we started shipping Ubuntu 15.10 the day it was released :) Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508766 Title: /etc/machine-id not created if missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1508766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
