It a shame you couldn't/didn't narrow down the exact cause. Also systems
operate quite happily with a read only /usr. The only problem is package
management, of course.

Also, you said could write to home?, which means it would have been rw
for owner/group anyway!

'rw' is default and I'm running all my systems with 'noatime'. This
points to the 'nosuid' on /usr (which I would have been my first guess
anyway).

Kind regards,
