HI! I assume, before you did mount the filesystem you had attached the device using cmd like this:
echo "add device range=0cd2" > /proc/dasd/devices In this case it is wrong! You have to attach the device READ ONLY in this way: echo "add device range=0cd2(ro)" > /proc/dasd/devices check cat /proc/dasd/devices 0cd2(ECKD) at ( 94: 84) is dasdv (ro): active at blocksize: 4096, 2700 blocks, 10 MB The must be READ ONLY (ro) flag. After you mount the file system you will see messages (dmesg) like this Can't write to read-only device 5e:55 kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds Can't write to read-only device 5e:55 EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Well, it makes no sense to mount ext3 (ext2 with journaling) read only. I hope this will work for you. If not, please answer: 1. how did you link this minidisk in z/VM? 2. how did you add the device to linux?
