In some later kernel we just changed the assert to a warn on for now until the issue is sorted out. > And, is the patch posted by DavidC here: > http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120106649923499&w=2 It looks somehwat dangerous for me. For now I would just comment out the assert or change it to a WARN_ON as in the newer kernels. I've recently started looking at that area in the VFS again and I'll hopefully make progress on a solution that sets MS_RDONLY at the correct time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
