Ian, yes it does seem a bit pedantic although to be fair there was a devils-advocate stance :)
I can see both arguments: On the one hand read-only should mean just that, it should have the same effect as read-only media. On the other hand a journalled file-system does need to replay the log to look consistent, even if it is only replayed to RAM. On balance, I'd say a read-only file-system shouldn't have the log file replayed (to RAM or disk) no matter if it appears inconsistent at that time. When the file-system is next mounted read-write (in this scenario, by the OS that 'owns' it) the file system will be consistent. -- Replaying journals of other OS's filesystems, by mounting them, is unsafe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
