On: Android 13 launch devices will use Huawei’s EROFS for fast efficient storage use

Is it possible to mount EROFS as read-write, as otherwise modifying anything in system partitions will be a lot more difficult, even if you have root.

This sounds like a feature (photocopying a page from Apple's playbook), not a bug.

Nope, it's more a bug. Why shouldn't I be allowed to modify anything? I'm the owner. Sure, maybe if you unpack the image on your PC and then flash it you can modify it, but it makes it far more difficult than it could be

If you can't do it on device, that means malware can't do it either.

As long as you can do it, it's under your control.

I guess you can make a new fs snapshot to overwrite the partition. Otherwise it's impossible to upgrade system as well.
