Trying some funky experiments, based on hearing about this readonly ZFS
in MacOSX, I'm kidding around with creating file based pools and then
burning them to a CDROM. When running zpool import, it does find the
pool on the CD, but then warns about a read-only device, followed by a
core dump.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/LargeFiles > zpool import -o readonly testpool
internal error: Read-only file system
Abort (core dumped)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/LargeFiles > 

Does ZFS still write to the zpool when mounted with readonly? If not,
why would a readonly device pose a problem? Apart from being gimmicky
(Hey, escalator sorting on a CDROM).

Now, if I had three DVD burners and some DVD-RWs, I would try a
DVD-RAID. :V

Thanks.
