Description

You need a usb key with a hardware write protect switch. Steps to reproduce:

  • Lock the key with the hardware switch.
  • Insert it in your haiku pc.

Panicks with "could not write back block xxx"

Actually could well be another symptom of ticket #6346

Assuming usb_disk is the underlying driver, ​usb_disk_open() doesn't have any handling for the open mode (flags). I don't think I've seen any driver that does, though.

​usb_disk's B_GET_GEOMETRY properly sets the read_only flag. So is this still an issue? Can someone retest? I don't know if I have any USB sticks with a write lock around here...

Write-protected USB drives will no longer allow mounting read-write. I tested this with an old Windows 10 retail USB, which are always write-protected.

Well, then let's consider this fixed. Thanks for testing!
