      | Interesting... Writing to writable files on a readonly filesystem is
      | dissallowed.

    This shouldn't be surprising, writing to a device is not writing to the
    filesystem that contains the inode for the device, it is writing to
    wherever the device wants the data to be put (same for /dev/null /dev/tty
    /dev/anything else).

      | What happens to the mtime of the device?

    That's on the read only filesystem, so that can't be touched.
