[stgt] [PATCH 1/1] tgtd: allow 'immutable' files and have them become read-only LUNs.

[ronnie sahlberg]

List, Tomo

(right list this time:-) )


Please find attached a small patch to the three bs_*.c files used for
SBC and MMC devices.
The patch changes the *_open() function in such way that if the normal
open for O_RDWR fails with EACCES,
we try to open the file with O_RDONLY instead, and set the LUN to read-only.


This allows to set the backing file to "chattr +i" for those
filesystems that support these attributes and automatically
flags them to read-only.


In particular for ISO images I find it very nice to have them set to
immutable to prevent any process from accidentally writing/modifying
them.
