ocfs2: add errors=continue OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, ocfs2 converts the filesystem to read-only at the drop of the hat. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. This attempt is to add errors=continue, which would return the EIO to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. However, the filesystem is not converted to read-only. As a future plan, I intend to create a small utility or extend fsck.ocfs2 to fix small errors such as in the inode. The input to the utility such as the inode can come from the kernel logs so we don't have to schedule a downtime for fixing small-enough errors. The patch changes the ocfs2_error to return an error. The error returned depends on the mount option set. If none is set, the default is to turn the filesystem read-only. Perhaps errors=continue is not the best option name. Historically it is used for making an attempt to progress in the current process itself. Should we call it errors=eio? or errors=killproc? Suggestions/Comments welcome.
