We often got infinite loops on mount or little after that, on both Linux and Windows.That's fine. If the admins don't want that then they can use SCSI or PV or simply not tell the guest to write to the device. Disallowing the configuration entirely just because the error handling is suboptimal (but safe!) is not correct. Ian. Why do you think so, Ian? This follows the IDE specifications to disallow read-only IDE disks since the specs doesn't support IDE read-only disks. The only read-only device being supported by IDE specs is the CD-ROM device.
