      Howdy buds, I apologize for bugging y'all but I had another question I couldn't find an answer to. There's loads of straight forward, easy to follow, instructions on how to remount a read only partition into a writable, but they fail to explain if that's for a single boot or until you manually change it back to read only. Also, if the latter is the case I couldn't find the command for that.

      I don't have an actual goal other than learning, but what I'd like to do is change a read only directory to a writable one, make some sort of minor change to ensure I followed instructions properly, then remove the change and go back to read only.

      Again, I'm really sorry to bother y'all over something so trivial.

        @marchegiano recalbox is mounted as ro with every reboot. Anyway, to remount it as read-only you can use mount -o remount,ro /
