There are 3 popular behaviours and all can be useful. - return errors - return errors + reject further writes - panic The second is Linux default behaviour and some people hate it, maybe because the read-only mode is rather silent. If you do react to it, it can be more graceful than a panic. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
