  • Are you looking for a way to prevent the files from being opened read-write, or from having to reboot the server while being able to remount ro, or finding and changing the blocking packages? Or would either be acceptable as a solution? Commented Feb 15, 2014 at 11:08
  • Ideally, I would like to prevent the files from being opened rw in the first place. But any solution that will enable me to remount to ro without a restart is also good. Commented Feb 15, 2014 at 11:18
  • Stop the offending services, remount, start them again? Commented Feb 15, 2014 at 11:20
  • @martin do you already have an overview of the offending services? I like the setup you presented and will try that in a VM, but it would be nice to know you are not running something non-default on your system that would make my experiments only partly relevant. Commented Feb 15, 2014 at 11:22
  • @Anthon I don't know which are the offending services. But see my EDIT above for clarification. My server is also a VM. It is a minimal installation with only few services running. Commented Feb 15, 2014 at 12:01
