From 81694f8c60dffb7851f941e69a1b79bc573ace53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Uzel Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 15:19:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mount: detect when kernel silently adds MS_RDONLY flag Linux kernel can silently add MS_RDONLY flag when mounting file system that does not have write support. Check this to avoid 'ro' in /proc/mounts and 'rw' in mtab.
