Why is it ignored? /dev/sda4 on / type btrfs (ro,nodev,relatime,compress=zlib,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag,subvolid=257,subvol=/_root) ^^^^^^^^^^^ Also, there is fstab in the initramfs: $ lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep fstab etc/fstab Have you tried masking the systemd-remount-fs.service?
