No single filesystem, really - I temporarily broke the VFS in a rhel backport. ;) But it seems like the kind of thing that could be missed in the future, so figured it was worth a quick test. (basically this was from moving mnt_want_write outside i_mutex for freeze work, and returning an error directly from mnt_want_write() would give us EROFS instead of maybe EEXIST) -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
