mounting an ext3 filesystem "-o ro"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

I want to do something *bad* : to mount an already mounted ext3 
partition.

Mounting "-o bind" is not an option, this partition is mounted by
different virtual machines. NFS is the right way to go, so I want
another one :-)

I have no problem mounting this partition read-only, but it seems
that actually it is not really read-only. From /var/log/messages :

Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. 
Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. 
Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02 kernel: kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds 
Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: recovery complete. 
Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

This recovery is probably triggered by the file /.autofsck, but I 
have not found how to get rid of this feature. Is there a way to 
read an ext3 filesystem, completely disabling recovery and any 
write operation ?

Thanks,
