that is not correct, errors=remount-ro is a kernel mount option, if the kernel detects any sort of error when dealing with the filesystem it will remount it readonly to hopefully prevent further damage. i had this happen with kernel 2.2.13 when it started puking all over the filesystems. this type of option would still be useful on a journaled filesystem since journaling does absolutely NOTHING to protect you from buggy kernel filesystem code. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
