Failed at step STATE_DIRECTORY spawning /lib/systemd/systemd-rfkill:
Read-only file system, did it try to write something in /lib/systemd?
How should I fix it?

Was the problem to write to /var/log, the /var/volatile does not have a log?

All system mount is the same as the original RW rootfs, did both write
to none standard RW system mount?

Here is defined system mount in fstab:

proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0  0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0  0
tmpfs                /run                 tmpfs
mode=0755,nodev,nosuid,strictatime 0  0
tmpfs                /var/volatile        tmpfs      defaults              0  0


Here is the mount:

# mount
ubi0:rootfs-volume on / type ubifs (ro,relatime,assert=read-only,ubi=0,vol=2)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs
(rw,relatime,size=84564k,nr_inodes=21141,mode=755)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,mode=755)

debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/volatile type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
ubi0:data-volume on /data type ubifs (rw,noatime,assert=read-only,ubi=0,vol=3)
tmpfs on /var/spool type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/cache type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/lib type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
tracefs on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing type tracefs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

How should I fix it?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
