[Bug 868755] [NEW] Always starts ro (read-only)

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

Why does friendly-recovery assume I am running it at boot time in ro? I
don't understand what prompted this change. In the rare occasion that
systems need to be mounted ro, shouldn't that be done as a kernel boot
parameter?

Running /lib/friendly-recovery/recovery-menu from gnome-terminal, I
still have to do remount. It doesn't detect that the root filesystem is
already mounted.

>From what I understand ro is mounted so that fsck can check the disk
without modifying it. AFAIK fsck should run automatically in ro if dirty
filesystems were detected and issues are not correctable (or if it had
passed a number of boots without a check, then preform a check) so why
is this being done every time?
