Post Grub.Conf

Hi,


During the Initial startup of the Linux machine.
Grub.conf has a entry to mount the root partition as read only after the initialistation of the Kernel.
Is there any specific reason for this or the root partition can be made to mounted with read write options.

Regards
Arun

I maybe think that It's temp file system (called rootfs (=nearly ramfs )) until It's real file system (ext2, ext3 etc) is mounted.

Therefore there are no data which we use. So writing logic don't be need.

It's my conjecture.
