Weird, why does it remount it?
What does:
mount | grep /run
returns? I just tried on a Debian 10 image with Linux 4.19.0 and /run
is a tmpfs, which may be the reason why read-only bind-mounts fail (or
at least there’s a bug in that area.)
Anyway, below is a patch for you to test. Let me know how it goes. :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
