Ah, okay, so the fallback was there just in case. It didn't really trigger and right it wouldn't have triggered until now, so your assertion about how many programs would break is kinda bogus. You just have single isolated case which hasn't been excercised till now. There may as well be code pieces which check against EACCES or what not. That said, maybe -EROFS is the better fit. I really have no idea. Maybe we should just revert and leave rw accesses to ro block devices alone. Jens, what do you think?
