E.g., the mount(8) man page gives no clue that you > can't do this; it only says, in the documentation for the -u option, that it > will fail if any file is opened for write. mount(2) is similarly silent. The description of mount -u states: "An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any files on the file system are currently open for writing unless the -f flag is also specified." I don't agree with the notion that unlinked files deserve some special mention here. An unlinked file is still being used as file, it just doesn't have any names referring to it, just one or more open file descriptors. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
