If there are some inodes in orphan list while a filesystem is being read-only mounted, we should recommend that pepole umount and then mount it when they try to remount with read-write. But the current message/comment recommends that they umount and then remount it. ext3_remount: /* * If we have an unprocessed orphan list hanging * around from a previously readonly bdev mount, * require a full umount/remount for now. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ */ if (es->s_last_orphan) { printk(KERN_WARNING "EXT3-fs: %s: couldn't " "remount RDWR because of unprocessed " "orphan inode list. Please " "umount/remount instead.\n", ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ sb->s_id); Signed-off-by: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext3/super.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext3/super.c b/fs/ext3/super.c index 7beb69a..d3df0d4 100644 --- a/fs/ext3/super.c +++ b/fs/ext3/super.c @@ -2669,13 +2669,13 @@ static int ext3_remount (struct super_block * sb, int * flags, char * data) /* * If we have an unprocessed orphan list hanging * around from a previously readonly bdev mount, - * require a full umount/remount for now. + * require a full umount/mount for now. */ if (es->s_last_orphan) { ext3_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, "warning: couldn't " "remount RDWR because of unprocessed " "orphan inode list.
