One of the problems is that S/390 has no way to sense the R/O setting of the disk, so we can't pass that to the mount (like you have with a CD for example). The only way to tell is by trying to write to the disk.We did not think that was very elegant. But you can also tell the Linux dasd driver to not write it, that should be more powerful than mount ro. It's probably through the hwcfg-* files. I believe that with that setting the mount will default to "ro" ? -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
