Owner's Manual
Partitions and logical volume file systems (ntfs, vfat, ext2,and ext3) on the local disks are
automatically mounted as read-only during boot. If you want to write to the local file system,
such as editing configuration files on the local file system, you must manually mount the local
file system as read-write. Provide the parameters 'nolvmmount' and 'nodiskmount' during
booting to prevent automatic mounting of the local file system.
