From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:31:04 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: Don't update superblock write time when filesystem is read-only X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31.8~64 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a71dacba604fee399884a5f3d2c53e21e9c3a79;p=karo-tx-linux.git ext4: Don't update superblock write time when filesystem is read-only (cherry picked from commit 71290b368ad5e1e0b0b300c9d5638490a9fd1a2d) This avoids updating the superblock write time when we are mounting the root file system read/only but we need to replay the journal; at that point, for people who are east of GMT and who make their clock tick in localtime for Windows bug-for-bug compatibility, and this will cause e2fsck to complain and force a full file system check.
