Dear Users and Developers of Xcat

I have found a weird behaviour of the xcat in statelite mode using NFS-ROOT.
When nodes boots some files (specified in litefile table) are mounted as
tmpfs for read/write

On the compute node:
================

 stat -f /etc/security/limits.conf

  File: "/etc/security/limits.conf"
    ID: 0        Namelen: 255     Type: tmpfs
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 3082705    Free: 2927602    Available: 2927602
Inodes: Total: 3082705    Free: 3069832

However if I chroot into the image on the xcat master node and change that
file, then all the compute nodes picks up the file from nfs and the file is
not tmpfs rw any more but NFS read-only

  File: "/etc/security/limits.conf"
    ID: 0        Namelen: 255     Type: nfs
Block size: 32768      Fundamental block size: 32768
Blocks: Total: 36019486   Free: 35705476   Available: 33875792
Inodes: Total: 73187328   Free: 73000554

Any idea how to fix that?
