I am experimenting with making USB parition true read-only partition. I am mounting the device, with ext2 filesystem, as read-only. I am also marking the block device as read-only using the blockdev utility from util-linux-ng, by using command blockdev --setro path-to-block-device What I am finding is, if I use block device as raw input device, and compute md5 checksum on the data read. The checksum's don't match from mount to mount. I see that block #2, corresponding to super-block is getting updated, but there is also one block on the device that gets updated within the device. Is there a way to mark USB partition as true read-only partition? /Subodh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
