Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/441

From wordpress:

We have a root process that needs to modify files on /etc and or /var. However, when we firejail the process using the –debug option, we see firejail mounts these directories as read-only causing the process to fail. Is there any way to force firejail not to mount a directory as read-only? If not, is it possible to enhance firejail to add control over what directories firejail automatically mounts as read-only?
