James, > How do you tell Linux what VM already knows (The disk is RO) during startup > so you camt mount the VM specified RO mini-disk as RW to linux? Good question. But it goes back to the basic premise that Mark pointed out. I'll try to summarize 1) when you need to write to a disk that others have R/O, all others should unmount the disk, 2) then the master can mount it, write to it and unmount it. 3) then all others can mount it R/O again.
This is a good, maybe even best, practice.
