systemd v256 now runs the initrd with `ProtectSystem=yes`, which makes `/usr` read-only: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/07748c53df5a72111d8b3eef49d275210d6018cd/NEWS#L168-L175 This breaks coreos-ignition-setup-user which wants to copy the Ignition config to `/usr/lib/ignition`. I think the right fix for this is to have Ignition learn to also source from `/etc` and `/run`, which is the standard nowadays: coreos/ignition#1891 But for now at least, we can safely remount `/usr` read-write ourselves without affecting the rest of the system since we're already running with `MountFlags=slave`.

Shouldn't the remount occur before calling mkdir -p $destination?

Good catch, thanks! OOC, did you actually hit an issue from this? I think this still worked because the directory already exists and mkdir -p no-ops before even trying to create the directory.
