 How does it look like everything is read only from inside the jail?  The fact that a

Your report of great success is encouraging. I've never done this and sometimes you don't see the full consequences when you haven't done something before.

I think you understand my question. It's the fact that mount(8) report read only. If you looked at that, you would conclude that you had no write access at all. Well, I set up the jail, so I can see behind the curtain. A downstream user that never saw behind the curtain wouldn't know where they could write a file unless they simply guessed.

That is why I asked about jailbreaking. There is information crossing the jail in a mysterious way. The jail reports that everything under root is read only, but the jail can still see the read-writeness of the invisible (to mount) null filesystems.

From the sound of it, this is expected behavior.
