Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] fdisk: do not allow writing to a read-only device
Date: Mon,  3 Mar 2014 22:14:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393881247-17092-1-git-send-email-me@mmalecki.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1393471600-17777-1-git-send-email-me@mmalecki.com>

Print a warning instead. This fixes the aforementioned "Bad file
descriptor" issue when writing to read-only completely.
