Thanks,
I'm not yet sure how applicable this is because I'm using busybox mount that as
I have discovered recently doesn't keep mtab at all. It always looks into
/proc/mounts. Since proce/mounts reports /dev/root mounteds on / too I'm
confused, mounting root fs rw doesn't change anything but if I'm using /dev/ram0
as root /proc/mounts and mount both report it correctly. At this point I'm at
loss to explain this.
