Forgot to mention repeating the reboot comes up with the same fail message. However the reboot itself seems to occur okay in that after the reboot IPFire is running as would be expected. Thank you for this bug report. I can confirm this and this is a really big problem, because it could potentially cause filesystem corruption if we cannot properly remount it as read-only.
I tried to debug this myself and could not find anything, so I opened a ticket upstream:
> https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/2395
I hope we can resolve this quickly. Otherwise we might have to revert the update of util-linux.
So, as we just found out, the -f switch is short for --fake. It means that the binary in the end won't run the syscall, or in essence doesn't do anything at all.
So we are removing it:

Just tried the latest nightly build dated 2023-07-28 19:48 The remount read only fail message is no longer shown. Fix confirmed to work. |
Created attachment 1227 [details] failo message for remount root readonly line at reboot After updating a CU176 vm to CU177 and rebooting, just before the reboot message there is a line about remount root readonly and this comes up with a fail result. Repeated on another CU177 system and the same message occurs. See screenshot attachment
