I have a removeable disk containing a filesystem which can not be
mounted read-write because it was not cleanly dismounted. If I mount
it read-only, when I umount it the system panics with the message
"update: rofs mod".
It's possible that this is technically not a bug, because it's a file
system that's been mounted under the Hurd, so who knows what
non-standard extensions have been used. On the other hand, I'm
somewhat surprised that it produces this error. Is there any known
bug in 2.1-release that would cause this? Is it worth investigating
further?
