James,
> Did you try the -t flag? -t ext2 specifically?
Yes, many times:
# mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/dasdd1 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdd1,
or too many mounted file systems
# mount -t ext2 -o noload /dev/dasdd1 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdd1,
or too many mounted file systems
And without it:
# mount -o ro /dev/dasdd1 /mnt
# mount | grep dasdd1
/dev/dasdd1 on /mnt type ext3 (ro)
Then I unmount:
# umount /mnt
And shutdown the system with it R/W and try the same again:
# mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/dasdd1 /mnt
Voila:
# mount | grep dasdd1
/dev/dasdd1 on /mnt type ext2 (ro)
(And I can go restart the system with it R/W and the R/O mount is fine)
