Practical question: how do I get a file system mounted R/O for backup with dump without putting that system into single-user mode? Particularly when running automated backups, this is an issue. I cannot kill all writers (syslog, Postfix, INN, CVS server, ...) on my production machines just for the sake of taking a backup. - 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/
