The GRUB lines for my kernels all include 'ro'.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep HOOKS /etc/mkinitcpio.conf | grep -v "#"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck vboxhost"

"1) Use the 'fsck' hook, use 'rw' on the kernel commandline.
2) Don't use the 'fsck' hook, use 'ro' on the kernel commandline." -

So I should remove fsck from the hooks? If so, why didn't it cause the
issue before the systemd update?

Is this useful for a DAW? Part of the audio tuning could be turning off
Internet connections, but at least I will run as less services as
possible. Ok, the -q "ntpd will not daemonize and will exit after the
clock is first synchronized" seems to be something I could use.
