  once upon a time, after i set up my fedora system, i had a habit of
re-mounting the entire /usr filesystem read-only so that, even as
root, i couldn't do something indescribably stupid and destroy
valuable files.  (theoretically, this remounting should be fine since,
according to the FHS, the contents of /usr should be static and
shareable.)

  all i would do (and demo to students in class, as well, since they
thought it was tres cool), was to use mount with the remount option:

    # mount -oro,remount /usr

  if i try that nowadays, though, i get:

  # mount -oro,remount /usr
  mount: /usr is busy


make it ro in /etc/fstab
