Remounting from Read-Only to Read-Write

You can remount something that's mounted read-only by using the remount option. 

# mount -o remount,rw /

Mounting a disk image without root

Using udisksctl, you can mount disk images without requiring root or sudoers access. 

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=100
$ udisksctl loop-setup -f test.img
Mapped file $PATH_TO_IMAGE as /dev/loop0.

Depending on your system, this may have triggered the loopmount to automount somewhere in /run/media/username. If nothing was mounted, manually mount the loopmount device: 

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/loop0
Mounted /dev/loop0 at /media/$USER/$IMAGE_NAME

To unmount the filesystem: 

$ udisksctl unmount -b /dev/loop0
$ udisksctl loop-delete -b /dev/loop0
