Description of problem: RAID device mount point show as 'rw' after it remounted as 'ro' by EXT4-fs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qf /bin/mount util-linux-ng-2.17.2-12.20.el6.x86_64 # uname -r 2.6.32-591.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create raid5 with four disks #mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l5 -n4 /dev/sd[bcde]1 2. mkfs.ext4 and mount the /dev/md0 #mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0 && mount /dev/md0 /mnt 3. do dd write operation on the mount point background #dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/testfile bs=4096 & 4. set two device faulty. #mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sdb1 #mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sdc1 5. check the dmesg and mount point info Actual results: mount point show as 'rw' Expected results: show as 'ro' Additional info: # mount | grep md0 /dev/md0 on /mnt type ext4 (rw) # cat /proc/mounts | grep md /dev/md0 /mnt ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,barrier=1,stripe=512,data=ordered 0 0 dmesg: EXT4-fs (md0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

man mount, section BUGS: It is possible that files /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts don't match. The first file is based only on the mount command options, but the content of the second file also depends on the kernel and others settings (e.g. remote NFS server. In particular case the mount command may reports unreliable information...) ... this is something we cannot fix in RHEL6. This is reason why we does not have mtab in the >= RHEL7.
