I was talking about a real system without UML, and the problem is, that even with "mount -f -o remount,ro /" fsck.reiserfs still think that the rootfs is mounted writable. I don't know why. mount shows "ro", but that might not mean that much.
Check inside /proc/mounts, it's reliable (rootfs is always rw, you care to the reiserfs mount) - mount cannot update /etc/mtab since it would require writing to the rootfs. Or maybe /etc/mtab still says it's rw...
Problem solved: i stopped all running services, and suddenly a normal "mount -o remount,ro /" worked, and fsck.reiserfs is working too now.
I tried the same thing yesterday, and it didn't work - strange.
ssh won't like a read-only root fs, I think... at least, normally it records the login, his logs... (Maybe it can be made to behave, I can't exclude it).
i still can login. i guess all the information is logged to the console now, since the syslog daemon is stopped.
