The 'mount' command reads the content of /etc/mtab. If you've mounted your root partition readonly, this file isn't updated (do the math). If you want definitive mount status, ensure that /proc is mounted, and cat /proc/mounts. I discourage the practice of mounting system partitions with type 'auto'. Specify what you want. If you get it, great, if you don't, fix the problem. > Oddly, the dmesg command returns nothing. I think that's 'cause iptables > has filled it up...
