Rescueboot: need root-partition rw

Hi,

Installing client-server works great with FAI. But I need to use it as a
rescuesystem to.

With FAI_ACTION=sysinfo the client-server boots via pxe and mounts the
nfsroot from the installserver. So you get your rescuesystem.

After login you find the harddisk-partitions mounted to /tmp/target.
The partitions are mounted rw except the root-partition in /tmp/target
itself, it's mounted ro. Why?

The main config-files you need to change during rescueboot will be found in
/tmp/target/etc , but you can't correct anything because it's read-only.

I tried to manipulate mount_local_disks() in /usr/lib/fai/fai-mount-disk,
but it didn't give the right effect.
Is there another file to change?

Best regards, Jürgen Kolk
