Re: [gentoo-dev] unmounting a filesystem mounted by /init (initramfs)

[Jeff Walter]

Rafael,

     I have no clue if this will work, but maybe try the -n option.  The man says
that it won't write to /etc/mtab, but I'm hoping it will ignore it as well and
just go for the mount.  Also, you'll be remounting / as read-only effectively,
so you won't be able to write /etc/mtab anyways.
