It's mounted read-only (actually also "noatime", although that is implied by "ro"). The access times cannot change. Nor the other metadata. And in fact they don't: "ls -Rl", "ls -Rlc", "ls -Rlu" report no changes in the metadata. > So, Clive, what filesystem are you using? Good point, that is probably important. ext3. > I wouldn't worry, the read-only option should be > enough, as long as you don't do any maintenance operations on it I do NO write operation whatsoever on it. It is not allowed to change in ANY way. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuVljcACgkQ+VSRxYk440/OngCgtMoeCoabmK3GRkamg6khVjdI ze0AoN00jeHU3eKeXQ3DL/bmHCjctcDI =IkoQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
