No. And we hook apt to automatically remount stuff rw before it, and try to remount ro after. It is easy, it works *perfectly*, and it has done so for longer than I care to remember. When the ro remount fails, you know you have some checkrestart work to do to get all updates in core, so it has helped our security upgrade team as well, even if their "procedure sheet" already tells them to check for old processes and libraries anyway. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
