From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Abhijith Das Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:06:37 -0600 Subject: [Cluster-devel] [GFS2][PATCH] - Allow journal recovery on read-only mount Message-ID: <479106CD.9010408@redhat.com> List-Id: To: cluster-devel.redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This patch allows gfs2 to perform journal recovery even if it is mounted read-only. Strictly speaking, a read-only mount should not be writing to the filesystem, but we do this only to perform journal recovery. A read-only mount will fail if we don't recover the dirty journal. Also, when gfs2 is used as a root filesystem, it will be mounted read-only before being mounted read-write during the boot sequence. A failed read-only mount will panic the machine during bootup.
