May 7, 2014 at 17:09 comment added derobert @StrongBad Tested that as requested, and it doesn't work either.
May 7, 2014 at 16:53 comment added StrongBad @derobert I think you need to use mount -o bind,ro with Debian.
May 7, 2014 at 16:50 comment added derobert I tested on two Debian testing/unstable machines, one running a Debian kernel and one running a kernel.org kernel, neither work with mount --bind -o ro, they both spit out a message mount: warning: «mountpoint» seems to be mounted read-write. So it seems Debian dropped or lost the patch at some point... Remount works, though.
May 7, 2014 at 16:19 comment added StrongBad @StephaneChazelas thanks for the links. I didn't see anything there about mount -t bind? I am assuming nothing has improved since then?

May 7, 2014 at 16:10 comment added StrongBad @ECarterYoung yes I have an /etc/mtab. After the initial mount the entry says the mount is rw and after the remount it says ro, so it is reporting the state of the mount correctly. It is just the mount command that fails.
