[Xen-users] forcing disk in read only also if mounted

[Daniele Palumbo <daniele@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi.

i am using xen 3.0.4, and i have to setup a disk for all my domUs, that 
contains kernel modules.

now on, i know about "gfs" and "nfs" approach, but i don't like it at all, if 
not passed anyway as read only at boot time.
NFS or GFS would need, in my setup, a new virtual server that only serve that 
thing (i won't export it from dom0, since they are on separate vlans, and i 
don't wont domUs to contact dom0)

i want a volume, in read only, that does not need to know anything about xen.
i tried "r!" in config file, but it is not a valid flag (BTW, IMHO it should 
be, like w!).

i can't use w!, cause i want that volume in read only (and keep safe my 
modules)

the solutions, by now, is to keep mounted in dom0 in read only that partition, 
and remount it to rw when needed (modules upgrade)
but it is not a solutions.

how can i resolve?
i really have to ask for "r!", or there is something like that?

thanks
Daniele
