Colin,

Thanks a lot, the above is invaluable. Changes to mount options in
initramfs and sysctl settings should be doable. I am a bit more
concerned about the last comment...

The loopback filesystem (file containing ext3) contains /, so that is
never really unmounted, only remounted r/o in /etc/init.d/umountroot. As
for /host (ntfs filesystem containing the root loop file) that is not
even set r/o. A patch to remount /host r/o is in #186114, but was not
applied since Szaka mentioned that remounting an ntfs r/o can lead to
data loss (#186117). Do you think that we should proceed and have /host
r/o? Would that be sufficient?

Hints welcome!
