Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Loopfiles inside of vfat cannot be remounted rw. This preventfs people from booting off loopinstallations in vfat. At the moment there is an exception in scripts/local to mount ntfs filesystems rw by default since those too cannot be remounted (bug #186117). It might be necessary to extend the treatment to all loopinstalation filesystems. Following are some of my experiments, not sure if there is some other way to be able to remount the host/loopfile.

Changing priority since the partial fix, although not very elegant, does address the issue, and I have not seen many complaints that can be linked to this bug |
