Oh, I see what's the problem: You cannot change journalling mode on remount. So
if by default a filesystem gets mounted as data=writeback, then mount
remounting the fs rw fails because it specifies data=ordered from /etc/fstab.
Sorry, this is a userspace issue - either you have to specify
rootflags=data=ordered or you should use initrd and initially mount the
filesystem with proper options.

I understand this might be nasty to users but there's no better solution...
