its likely from the twrp you used for porting, you might want to use a different one.
you also mentioned the twrp is unable to mount system as well, are you able to mount other partitions asides from system?

I used hovatek porting tool 1.4 with lollipop support so how to change twrp version? At the first boot in recovery It couldn't mount cache partition too but after wipe cache it mounts and other partition without problems only system can't mount.

I think I know where is the problem. I had problems with font size it was to small and i copy twres folder from recovery that has big buttons. But that recovery dont have repair option now I have 3.2.1 twrp recovery but with xml file from older one.How to modify this file with big icons to have all 3.2.1 twrp functionality ? I have no idea where to start :/

open both xml files side by side in a tool such as notepad++, you can compare the differences to find and add whats missing

if your twrp has wromg fstab in /etc folder then this problem usually occurs. try to find fstab in your boot.img fstab and also from recovery fstab. that will be same for system, cache and userdata.
otherwise
there is mount option in twrp for system too but for file manager editing. you can mount also from terminal command

Code:

mount -o rw, remount ext4 /system

find the mount points of your device using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-11203.html
then unpack twrp and replace the mount points in /ramdisk/etc/*.fstab

This is my mount points (see pic)
Now in recovery.fstab i have
boot /boot emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4 defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data ext4 defaults defaults
misc /misc emmc defaults defaults
recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /system ext4 defaults defaults

and in twrp.fstab

boot /boot emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4 defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data ext4 defaults defaults
misc /misc emmc defaults defaults
recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /system ext4 defaults defaults

so I must change mmcblk0pX in both fstab files like this?:
recovery.fstab
boot /boot emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache ext4 defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /data ext4 defaults defaults
misc /misc emmc defaults defaults
recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 /system ext4 defaults defaults
twrp.fstab

boot /boot emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache ext4 defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /data ext4 defaults defaults
misc /misc emmc defaults defaults
recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat defaults defaults
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 /system ext4 defaults defaults

you can remove the lines for misc and sdcard, then modify the line for recovery, you can also add the lines for secro, nvram and nvdata (if you wish to backup baseband and imei)

Code:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8      /recovery    emmc      defaults        defaults

/dev/block/mmcblk0p16    /secro         emmc      defaults        defaults

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2     /nvram         emmc      defaults        defaults

/dev/block/mmcblk0p13   /nvdata        emmc      defaults        defaults

try this adding this line for external sd if you have one or use internal storage which should work once userdata can be mounted

Code:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1     /external_sd    vfat       flags=display="External SDCard";storage;wipeingui;removable
