You can mount /system as read/write with:

Code:

devel-su mount /system -o remount,rw,relatime,data=ordered

This is temporary and will revert to read-only on reboot.

You can verify it is now mounted read/write with:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ mount | grep /dev/mmcblk0p25

You should see a result like (note the "rw". If it were read only, it would be "ro"):

Code:

/dev/mmcblk0p25 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
