  [UIFe] [FFe] recovery mode mounts filesystems read-write rather than
  read-only

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: friendly-recovery

  In recovery mode, filesystems should probably be mounted read-only,
  since pending any problems they can safely be remounted read-write,
  while the reverse is not necessarily true.  This means that operations
  such as fsck, badblocks, zerofree, etc. are not possible without
  having to use a boot CD, and ensuring that any additional binaries are
  compatible.  One should assume that booting into recovery mode is
  either deliberate or has come about because of a problem.
