I admit that we have had a few cases where exiting users give a

Is there some way to flip a bit and disable all writes on a R/W
volume? Clobbering the ACL's on the volume would do this, but
undoing that would not be trivial for users who leave and return.
If we want to allow a negative quota to disable all writes, then I
propose that we only allow -1. Then again, 1 is almost as effective
assuming that the volume has a few files in it.
Flip a bit, no. But you can effectively do it with more work:
Back up the volume using vos dump
Remove the volume
Do vos restore using the -readonly switch. The restored volume is
readonly, has the original name, and is parent-less.
