if you specify journal=update in /etc/fstab, then attempts to remount that point can be a bit painful for example: dd if=/dev/zero of=foo count=10000 mke2fs -F -j foo mkdir foo-mount echo $PWD/foo $PWD/foo-mount ext3 defaults,loop,journal=update >> /etc/fstab mount foo-mount mount foo-mount -o remount,ro the last command will result in: mount: /root/foo-mount not mounted already, or bad option and the dmesg output will show us: EXT3-fs: cannot specify journal on remount so should mount be handling this ? or should we update ext3 to only abort if the journal= option given at remount is different from the initial mount ? -mike
