Description of problem:
=======================

When a snapshot of a volume is created, it is readonly volume. If you mount the volume to the client it doesn't allow writes, but its attributes are rw which contradicts the functionality.

For example, snap1 is the snapshoted volume

#mount the snap volume

[root@wingo ~]# mount -t glusterfs hostname1:/snaps/snap1/vol1 /mnt/snap1
[root@wingo ~]# 

#cd to the mount
[root@wingo ~]# cd /mnt/snap1

#Try to create a dir
[root@wingo snap1]# mkdir a
mkdir: cannot create directory `a': Read-only file system
[root@wingo snap1]# 

Note: The snap volume is mounted as readonly file system

#Look for the mount attributes

[root@wingo ~]# mount | grep snap1
hostname1:/snaps/snap1/vol1 on /mnt/snap1 type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)

The mount attributes are rw which means it is allowed to read and write as well. It should be ro(readonly)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================

glusterfs-3.6.1


How reproducible:
=================
always


Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1. Create a snapshot of a volume
2. Mount the snap volume to the client
3. Grep for mount attributes

Actual results:
===============

mount attributes are shown as (rw)

Expected results:
=================
mount attributes should show (ro)

We are mounting snapshot bricks with 'rw' options because when snapshots are activated, during brick start-up some xlators like 'posix xlators' tries to set xattrs and this will fail if the bricks are mounted readonly.

    glusterd/snapshot: mount snapshot volume with read-only option
    
    Snapshot volumes are readonly. If you mount the volume to the client it
    doesn't allow writes, but its attributes are rw which contradicts the
    functionality.
    
    mount script should set read-only attributes for snapshot volumes.
