But .. Depends where the 'read-only' setting is coming from. LVM? Use lvchange -pr dm itself? (using device vg0-lvol0 as the example) 'dmsetup info vg0-lvol0 | grep State' shows ACTIVE (READ-ONLY) Then: dmsetup table vg0-lvol0 | dmsetup reload vg0-lvol0; dmsetup resume vg0-lvol0 And to put it back read-only afterwards dmsetup table vg0-lvol0 | dmsetup reload -r vg0-lvol0; dmsetup resume vg0-lvol0 Alasdair -- agk@xxxxxxxxxx -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
