well theoretically being in read-only mode should be enough, as teh transition to read-write should only READ the superblock again and pick up the new flags.. That was not happenning at one stage, but I think that's what Luoqi's changes are about.. at one stage the superblock was getting written to a RO FS which is definitly wrong..
