[Solved]"root device is not configured to be mounted read-write"on EFI

Hi,

I'm getting the "famous" message on boot "root device is not configured to be mounted read-write" which is no big deal since everything works fine but I would love to get rid of it.
I found several threads here but they all try to fix it with grub or syslinux making sure it's mounted rw instead of ro, but didn't found the solution for EFI boot.
I also would like to know where I can find this log message, since it's not in journalctl.

/boot/loader/entries/arch-encrypted.conf

title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options cryptdevice=UUID=a9ed4ce7-108f-497a-9867-6eb162c64205:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt filesystems keyboard fsck"

Thanks

Adding rw at the end of the options line should fix it.
