mounting disk as read-write after boot.

[Frank Samuelson <sam@milagro.lanl.gov>]

I installed a system with the RedHat-XFS disks.  
It works great.  All file systems are xfs.

But when I compile my own kernel (2.4.17 with xfs patch)
and install it,  and reboot,
the root disk stays in read-only mode.  Obviously
at some point the bootup just stops.  No syslog error
message are available (nothing is written).

XFS is compiled in (with quota support). It is obvious that the kernel 
mounts the root disk (which is XFS) and reads its contents on bootup, but 
it never switches it to read-write.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.  Thanks for the great 
file system.
