I get the following error message at boot time: * Mounting /proc... rm: cannot remove /run/openrc: Read-only file system It's the very first script launched by OpenRC, but I cannot determine which one it is, as my knowledge of init scripts is very limited. Openrc package version is 0.11.8 (on a ~amd64 system). This is my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda2 none swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults 0 1 /dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 The last important thing to say is that if I downgrade to openrc-0.11.6 the error vanishes.

I can confirm this. Amd64 stable key worded fresh install. I've been seeing the warning since first boot.
I too can confirm this bug.

downgrading openrc does not resolve the problem for me. However it does allow more of the rc scripts to run. Even though / is still read only it does boot to login prompt now, though I cant do anything with it because its read only.
@duby I think you may have other problems aside from this bug. at the point when this bug appears the rootfs is infact read only. The rootfs doesn't get remounted as read/write until later in the boot process. Which it does...at least on my system. If you don't ever get remounted r/w and are always stuck as read only then you have larger problems. Maybe check your fstab settings.
Thank you for the info jeremy I think in my case the problem ultimately comes down to mounting /run. This is typed out, but this is the error message I get during boot * mounting /proc ... rm: cannot remove '/run/openrc' :read only file system * mounting /run ... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tmpfs, missing codepage or helper program, or other error * unable to mount tmpfs on /run * can't continue mkdir '/run/openrc/starting' :no such file or directory .... ....
Actually please disregard that last error message that is not quite correct, that one is the error I got -before- I downgraded openrc, the one I get now is almost identical though.... As can be seen the only difference is that it does not say that it couldnt remove /run/openrc. I think it does successfully remove open /run/openrc now, but it still doesnt successfully mount /run * mounting /proc ... * mounting /run ... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tmpfs, missing codepage or helper program, or other error * unable to mount tmpfs on /run * can't continue mkdir '/run/openrc/starting' :no such file or directory .... ....
@duby I'm gonna assume this is a fresh install or you rebuilt your kernel recently. I'm willing to be its a back kernel config. I think CONFIG_TMPFS is not set. Chroot back in from a live CD or something just as you did during install and rebuild the kernel making sure it is set. If that does t solve it then open a forum post and we will work through it from there
(In reply to comment #0) > I get the following error message at boot time: > > * Mounting /proc... > rm: cannot remove /run/openrc: Read-only file system This will go away in 0.12. It is fixed in commit b44f96a. It doesn't harm your system, so there is no need for a 0.11.x release to fix it.

Yes, this is a separate issue. it is probably as stated; you do not have CONFIG_TMPFS=y in your kernel. Please rebuild your kernel with this setting and open a new bug if this continues.
Workaround - manually delete obsolete symlink: mkdir /tmp/tmpdir sudo mount --bind / /tmp/tmpdir sudo rm /tmp/tmpdir/run/openrc sudo umount /tmp/tmpdir rmdir /tmp/tmpdir It has to be done only once, after that there will be no more annoying message at boot time.
