Android x86: remounting /system : /dev/loop1 is read only I try to remove google apps from android x86 dowloaded from here and I managed to make it run over virtualbox, afterwards in installed it to a virtual hard disk. 

But I want on it to remove any google-based apps and run with free-software alternatives. So I installed via fdroid the /system/app mover but when I try to move any app I get the error:


  Could not remount /system


So using the onboard terminal I followed the instructions provided.

I managed to become root and run the command:

mount -o rw,remount system


But I got the error:

'/dev/loop1' is read-only


How I can fix that.
My guess is that you installed the androidx86 using fast install from advanced options. Please reinstall the Android x84 and select the /system to get mounted as rw as you can see in the image bellow:



PS: Even if the image is rather old it still stays the same during installation.
