Hi Zdenek, I'm a little confused by that statement.
Sure, it is 100% true for EXT3/4-based filesystem; however, asking on
XFS mailing list about that, I get the definive answer that XFS was
adapted to cope well with thin provisioning ages ago. Is it the case?
Anyway, a more direct question: what prevented the device mapper team to
implement a full-read-only/fail-all-writes target? I feel that *many*
filesystem problems should be bypassed with full-read-only pools... Am I
wrong?
Thanks.
