I didn't realize you couldn't do bind mounts read-only. Interesting. What about re-mounting the same block device (presumably as ext3) in ro mode at another mountpoint? Or if that complained, maybe created an additional block device under /dev with identical major/minor numbers and mounting *that* RO? Maybe ext3 wouldn't handle that too well... Ray
