I'm not sure what errors you're referring to, but if the errors are related to file system inconsistencies, by definition umounting and re-mounting isn't going to fix things, and could result in more damage. For certain errors, you really do need to run e2fsck before remounting the device. Can you not change pacemaker to stop the device, run e2fsck, and then remount the file system? It seems like the safer the thing to do. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
