From: Joe Thornber Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 11:38:21 +0000 (+0000) Subject: dm thin: don't allow messages to be sent to a pool target in READ_ONLY or FAIL mode X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a7eaea02b99b6e267b1e89c79acc6e9a51cee3b;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git dm thin: don't allow messages to be sent to a pool target in READ_ONLY or FAIL mode You can't modify the metadata in these modes. It's better to fail these messages immediately than let the block-manager deny write locks on metadata blocks. Otherwise these failed metadata changes will trigger 'needs_check' to get set in the metadata superblock -- requiring repair using the thin_check utility.
