Subject: [PATCH] xfs: disallow ro->rw remount on norecovery mount
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:03:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55146612.1070306@redhat.com> (raw)

There's a bit of a loophole in norecovery mount handling right
now: an initial mount must be readonly, but nothing prevents
a mount -o remount,rw from producing a writable, unrecovered
xfs filesystem.

It might be possible to try to perform a log recovery when this
is requested, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.  For now,
simply disallow this sort of transition.
