Will there be a dedicated mailling list or just talk over the main
lists. I am mostly needing this for NFS diskless clients. Most of the
data needs to be RO, but some stuff should be RW (utmp and such :))
One of the main tenets of this is that the system filesystems should
be able to run read-only; there's no reason for apps to be writing
to the system filesystem in general use. However, tracking this
can be difficult; you don't want to force everyone to run read-only
just to get data on their workloads.
So, what we've worked on is a way to simply log what apps are writing
to (or trying to write to) the system filesystems. This is now
