RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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

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.
