I think mounting it as RO makes sense. Similarly to mounting /boot as RO. Difference is, and this is why a newsitem would have been useful, /boot is in your fstab and you (should) know you set it to not automount and/or RO. The efi mount is done automagically and any flags are usually not set by the user/admin. At least I now know this to be the case when I end up updating the few machines I set up to boot directly using EFI without a bootloader. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
