The "mounts" attachment is empty. But I can guess your /roroot is NFS, and it is exported readonly on NFS server. For NFS branch, there are two levels of permission check. - dir's cached permission bits only, no server interaction. - ask NFS server. I guess your case has fallen to the second level, and the workaround wil be necessary as Yair Yarom is doing. Also I am afraid that 'dirperm1' option won't help. But this is a little surprise to me since aufs has already solved this issue many years before if I remember correctly. I wonder some recent changes in NFS may be affected. I'll check when I have time. J. R.
