Comment 31 for bug 537133

My NFS export is configured to only allow read access.
My /etc/exports on the server is:
/nfsroot 10.10.10.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,async)

I configured it that way because it is only a temporary system booted on multiple computers at the same time.

I just use "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.10.10.254:/nfsroot ip=dhcp" kernel options and have no entry for / in my /etc/fstab.
If I add a "/dev/nfs / nfs defaults 0 1" line nothing changes.
If I add a "/dev/nfs / nfs defaults,ro 0 1" line mountall doesn't remount /, the bug isn't triggered and the boot process also continues normally. (I just discovered this simple workaround.)
