Hello,

I am using OSF V3.2A. When I use mount with clones, I get the following message:

msfs_mount: bmtr_put_rec warning E_READ_ONLY (-1114)

Following is the sequence I use in my backup scripts.

# mkdir /vmnt
# clonefset root_domain root root_clone
# mount -o ro -t advfs root_domain#root_clone /vmnt
# vdump etc...
etc ...

I use the READ_ONLY (-o ro) option of mount.

Why do I have a warning mesage ?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks to Michael Long for replying. Following is his reply:

> You are getting the E_READ_ONLY (-1114) error because although the clone
> fileset is available as read only to you, it needs read/write access.
> When you add, remove, rename or modify files in the original fileset ,
> the filesystem copies the original pages to the clone fileset. Checkout
> man on clonefset and the not so helpful man advfs_error

> Hope this helps,
