Brian,  thanks for the reply.

No, the fstab entries are shown below:

/dev/sda1/   /usr/os2boot   hpfs 
user,etc,dev,suid,rw,noauto,conv=binary,uid=501,gid=503,umask=0 1
1
/dev/sdb1/   /usr/os2data   hpfs 
user,etc,dev,suid,rw,noauto,conv=binary,uid=501,gid=503,umask=0 1
1

Are you specifying all the mount options?  Does it specify ro in
