If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joe Thornber commit 2a7eaea02b99b6e267b1e89c79acc6e9a51cee3b upstream. You can't modify the metadata in these modes. It's better to fail these messages immediately than let the block-manager deny write locks on metadata blocks. Otherwise these failed metadata changes will trigger 'needs_check' to get set in the metadata superblock -- requiring repair using the thin_check utility.
