83 default y
84 help
85 When a block device is mounted, writing to its buffer cache is very
86 likely going to cause filesystem corruption. It is also rather easy to
87 crash the kernel in this way since the filesystem has no practical way
88 of detecting these writes to buffer cache and verifying its metadata
89 integrity. However there are some setups that need this capability
90 like running fsck on read-only mounted root device, modifying some
91 features on mounted ext4 filesystem, and similar. If you say N, the
92 kernel will prevent processes from writing to block devices that are
93 mounted by filesystems which provides some more protection from runaway
94 privileged processes and generally makes it much harder to crash
95 filesystem drivers. Note however that this does not prevent
96 underlying device(s) from being modified by other means, e.g. by
97 directly submitting SCSI commands or through access to lower layers of
98 storage stack. If in doubt, say Y. The configuration can be overridden
