Error "mount: operation not permitted" when trying to mount system as read/write

Question

I am trying to mount system as r\w and every app couldn't do it including root explorer and link2sd. I am using Xperia z2 android v4.4.4 and I the device is rooted and I have restarted the phone.

I get the following eeors when trying to do this:

mount -o mount,rw rootfs / mount: operation not permitted

rootfs is not your system partition. Is that what you actually intended to remount? What's the end goal that you're trying to achieve? More context might be helpful. — eldarerathis, Mar 24 '15 at 04:07

This is how you remount root as read-write:

 mount -o remount,rw /

If you want to remount the system partition as read-write:

mount -o remount,rw /system
