Hmmn, does someone know if Linux directory locks are never held
on read-only media? I know zfs locks at the directory-entry
level (see http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/loficc/crypto/usr/... ) but UFSs generally lock the in-memory directory, and don't know if it
comes from RO or RW media...
Anyone know ext3 that well?
