I have always interpreted it as simply "no user changes to the
filesystem," and that is clearly what the vfs does with the
flag...

That ("-o ro means no user changes") has always been my
understanding too.  You /want/ the FS to replay the journal on an
RO mount so that regular FS operation picks up the committed
transactions.

That's my understanding, too, but after some point in time, not
initially. It was explained to me some years ago after I found out
that a disk image mounted read only was modified. The trick was to
make the image '-w'.

I also have the vague feeling that once (years ago) I found a problem
when a mount failed or crashed when the image was ro.


Just a user view on this :-)
