Yes, dracut environment is rw but the root fs itself is mounted ro first.
The "vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure" (that is called after the pivotroot)
is run just before the rw remount happens (..looking at Fedora/RHEL6 rc.sysinit).

We didn't notice that directly before, because init_locking silently "failed"
(but returned with OK status from init_locking fn, since --ignorelockingfailure is set).
