I'm merely asking if, when you do a read-only import, zfs opens the underlying storage read-only & doesn't ever attempt to write to it.

(It sounds like this is the case).

The spec discussed the read-only-ness entirely from the perspective of what sits on top of zfs, not what sits underneath it. I just wanted a little more precision on what happens below zfs when you do a read-only import.


Thanks for clarifying this. Yes, the pool will not do any writes to any part of the pool. As a matter of fact all devices are opened read-only.
