Yes, the SD slot write-lock is advisory only, and does not prevent writing to the SD card. (On an XO-1 C2 with kernel 2.6.31_xo1-20101216.2360.2.olpc.741a3' mounting a card defaults to a read-only mount, but it can be remounted read-write. Other kernels may do other things.) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
