This is good advice. I forgot to add one thing in my previous reply, 
so let me do so now.

One might also want to look at using the stateless Linux hooks to set 
up a read-only root filesystem. It requires a bit more thinking, but 
I can say that for my own needs it works quite well. In this case, 
it could've saved poc from a bit of trouble.
