Depends on when you want to check it...

After it's activated, look at /proc/dasd/devices
0.0.0200(ECKD) at ( 94:     0) is dasda       : active at blocksize:
4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB
0.0.0190(ECKD) at ( 94:    24) is dasdg   (ro): active at blocksize:
4096, 19260 blocks, 75 MB

Note 190 (/dev/dasdg) above is flagged (ro) since it's a read only
device.   (This is SLES9).

Hi,

On z/VM side i have a DASD volume linked read only. But on linux side i
need
to find a way for detecting if that DASD device is in a read only state.

with the following mount command:

mount /mnt/data -o remount,rw

I don't get any errors from de the mount command, and if i check the status
of the mounted device with 'mount' alone, the filesystem looks like being
mounted rw

Of course i get a lots kernel errors!

I have to build some scripts and it will be useful for me to validate this
read-only state within my scripts.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance!
