Mounting ext3 disk read-only as ext2

Hello list, I'm trying to mount an ext3 file system as ext2, I thought this could *always* be done, but I'm finding otherwise. I write to a disk on a "master" Linux and then want to link it read-only on "clones". I use a LINK statement in the USER DIRECTory, use "(ro)" in zipl.conf and "ro" in fs

I am trying to implement zFCP Multipathing on SLES9 SP3. This is under zVM 5.2. The Linux guest is an existing Linux using ECKD disk which also has LVM non multipathing on the ECKD. I have no problem adding the zFCP with SCSI Lun. The problem is setting the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file filter to accept
