The general idea of skippign the writer counts makes sense, but please give it a descriptive name that explains the not unmountable thing. And please kill your kern_mount wrapper and just set the flag manually. Also I think it should be a superblock flag, not a mount flag as you don't want thse to differ for multiple mounts of the same filesystem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
