that is the point ... strace doesn't work on that command and I don't
even know the syntax of the utility "remount" It seems to be
something builtin to bash - very odd ....
smfhome2:~ # mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt2
smfhome2:~ # remount -o ro /dev/sdb8
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
smfhome2:~ # remount -o ro /dev/sdb8 -t ext3
mount: /dev/sdb8 not mounted already, or bad option
smfhome2:~ # remount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/sdb8
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
smfhome2:~ # remount -o ro -t ext3 /dev/sdb8
mount: /dev/sdb8 not mounted already, or bad option
smfhome2:~ # strace -f remount -o ro -t ext3 /dev/sdb8
strace: remount: command not found
smfhome2:~ # which strace
/usr/bin/strace
smfhome2:~ # which remount
which: no remount in
