Don't be so harsh. Adding a read-only for the start zfs driver for Linux would be useful for various purposes. And adding read-only filesystems to Linux is really easy.

IT should be a very good learning exercise for him. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
