Hrm, --update is the traditional "remount" option. It's more a top-down thing than a bottom-up thing. Still, all the functionality is there in diskfs now. > Or perhaps the general change notification mechanism can handle that > already? Ah, this is probably the best thing. Ideally, read-only diskfs could register a change-notification on the underlying store, and if it gets changes, it could do the remount automatically. There might be some problems making it all work. The read-write version is pretty fundamentally unable to DTRT, of course. Still, I think that it's a minor issue to worry about. I'm content with just saying "no, of course you can't run two different filesystems on the same store", and then leaving it at that.
