Re: Mount DASD as read-only




I remember when the cleaning crew flipped one on a 3350, which is the last device I remember having the switch.
Took several hours to determine what had happened due to the midnight phenomenon.
One of my cow-orkers tells the same story. Cleaning guy used to snap a rag to knock dust off, and he hit the switch on a disk one night. Great panic until my friend looked at the I/O error message, realized what it meant, and found the switch.
