In normal configurations it shouldnt be. Both ext3 and reiserfs currently have the problem that they need to replay the log to get a stable file system. Obviously you cant replay the log to disk if its read only, so they replay the log to disk read/write then mount the fixed fs read only.
It breaks if your hardware has given up writing (certain disk fails) or if you are running the swsuspend patch (serious disk corruption) but really the swsusp patch interaction is the only problem one - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
