Indeed. I had a relatively quick look yesterday but I didn't spot it. I
assumed it would be a simple logic inversion bug, but this doesn't seem to
be the case. )-: I will look for it when I have a bit of time hopefully
I will have some time later today or tomorrow... If any one else looks
and finds it please let me know!
I am guessing that the ro flag is being set when mounting rw and quite
possibly vice versa so you might find that mounting ro will suddenly allow
you to do writes (but I wouldn't be too sure about that).
Cheers,
Anton
