I think "norecovery" would anyway not really fit... the name should rather indicated, that from the filesystem side, nothing changes the underlying device's contents. "norecovery" would just tell, that no recovery options would be tried, however, any other changes (optimisations, etc.) could still go on.
David's "nowr" is already, better, though it could be misinterpreted as no write/read (as wr being rw swapped), so perhaps "nowrites" would be better... but that again may be considered just another name for "ro". So perhaps one could do something that includes "dev", like "rodev", "ro-dev", or "immuatable-dev"... or instead of "dev" "devs" to cover multi-device cases. OTOH, the devices aren't really set "ro" (as in blockdev --setro). Maybe "nodevwrites" or "no-dev-writes" or one of these with "device" not abbreviated? Many programs have a "--dry-run" option, but I kinda don't liky drymount or something like that. Guess from the above, I'd personally like "nodevwrites" the most. Oh and Qu's idea of coordinating that with the other filesystems is surely good. Cheers, Chris.
