Subject: Remount /sysroot readwrite when used for kdump References: bsc#1034169 When kdump is saved to / (ie /var is not separate filesystem) /kdump/mnt0 is bind mount of readonly /sysroot. Due to mount bug "mount /kdump/mnt0 -o remount,rw" does nothing. Remount the device by hand with "mount none /kdump/mnt0 -o remount,rw" which avoids the bug.
