No problem, I am OK with being first. Then, I only want to deal with media that is "semi-permanently" or permanetly read-only. That's why I handle only failure to mount media as R/W. But from what I read 'errors=remount-ro' in Linux has to do with errors that happen after filesystem is mounted. That is, you mounted a filesystem, you work with it, you get some error (e.g. because of bad blocks), you auto-downgrade the filesystem to readonly. This may be a nice feature, but this is something different from what I proposed. And, AFAIK, Linux does what I propose by default, without any additional options. Google for "block device ... is write-protected, mounting read-only". But yes, it seems that they handle this situation entirely in userland. And I am not against it. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
