The writeable policy attribute was introduced with 17.08 in https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/1fce8d0d7 and this commit also adapts the autopilot tests. Unfortunately, we missed to adapt libc_vfs_fs_fat and libc_vfs_fat, which remained undetected because those are not in tool/autopilot.list. The reason behind this is that the run scripts already use depot packages which our nightly build does not support currently. Regarding your original question: Yes, with least privilege in mind the default setting of "writeable" is false, which can be lifted by specifying writeable="true" in the policy node (as you already did). Thanks for reporting, I already crafted a patch for repos/libports/run/libc_vfs_filesystem_test.inc in https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/8afb9f8 Regards -- Christian Helmuth Genode Labs https://www.genode-labs.com/ · https://genode.org/ https://twitter.com/GenodeLabs · /ˈdʒiː.nəʊd/ Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.
