Description Paul Whalen 2020-07-31 18:05:37 UTC
Description of problem:
Booting the latest IoT compose (Fedora-IoT-33-20200731.0), /sysroot is not getting remounted rw, as a result many services fail. 


Jul 31 12:44:15 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting OSTree Remount OS/ Bind Mounts...
Jul 31 12:44:15 localhost.localdomain ostree-remount[632]: Remounted rw: /var
Jul 31 12:44:15 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Finished OSTree Remount OS/ Bind Mounts.

mount | grep sysroot
/dev/mapper/fedora--iot_fedora-root on /sysroot type ext4 (ro,relatime,seclabel)

Remounting rw and restarting the various services works.

Hmm, this must be fallout from https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2113 - but are you enabling the sysroot=readonly flag or not?

See also https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/589 but I don't think you're running from read-only storage, or are you?

Where would that be enabled? Looking for related messages

Jul 31 13:33:34 fedora ostree-prepare-root[486]: sysroot configured read-only: 0, currently writable: 0

No, this is not read-only storage.

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2020-08-01 17:25:42 UTC
OK one thing I had to triple check is that Silverblue works, and it certainly appears to.

Unfortunately we're not testing non-CoreOS systems much in OSTree CI right now (need to fix that).

I'd done manual testing for this patch for Silverblue because I knew there was a risk, so something
else is going on with IoT.

Oh but wait... /sysroot *is* readonly now even without it being configured on, which is clearly broken in that patch.
It's strange this doesn't break SB but does break IoT, nevertheless working on a fix now.
