Is it true that we can still cause major damage to filesystems that
are moved from read-only to read-write or noasync <-> async?
From the mount manpage:
--
BUGS
It is possible for a corrupted file system to cause a crash.
Switching a filesystem back and forth between asynchronous and normal op-
eration or between read/write and read/only access using ``mount -u'' may
gradually bring about severe filesystem corruption.

The first bug is understandable, but personally I've never seen the
second happen, is this still a real problem?
If not I'd like to remove it.
thanks,
