Comment 5 for bug 227013

With this patch, /boot will be mounted read-write on boot with the disk initramfs script.

We're still in a very broken situation in that /boot/rootfs.img is loop mounted to build the unionfs, and so if the ext3 in /dev/sda1 (/boot) ever needs fscking, we wont be able to do so because it will be in use for /...

22:57 < lool> So hmm the concept of /boot/rootfs.img is fundamentally flawed in
              that you need /boot mounted to write new kernel images to it
              (e.g. security updates) but if you ever have a fs check to run on
              it, you can't because rootfs.img is loopback mounted for the
              unionfs making the /
22:57 < lool> You need read-write and accessible, and you can't fsck it from /
