If you need to steal a bit, grab one that won't hurt.
Take the owner's read bit. (owner may read own files)

No no no. This breaks device nodes etc quite badly.
A change to mkcramfs might be fine - but it has to conditionalize on the
file being a regular file.

Ok, point taken.

True..., but cramfs is acting like a mountable (tar czvf) because of the
compressed pages. Seems redundant to have a tar on top of what is basically
a segmented tar with frontal indexing

Hi Linus,
hi all,
cramfs is a read-only fs. So we should honour that in inode->mode
to avoid confusion of programs.
My isofs shows this too, so I think I'm right deleting the write
permissions in the inode. May be we should change it in
mkcramfs (too).
I don't know what POSIX says about RO fs,
