ext2: bug or feature

Yesterday I put a "errors=ro" in my /etc/fstab, because my manual
page was misformatted. Unfortunately this entry did not let me mount
the filesystem rw during normal startup. In addition I could not
login with / being read-only.

I think even if an invalid option for "errors" is specified, the
filesystem should be allowed to be mounted rw.

BTW: Wouldn't it be useful for "errors=remount-ro" to be the
default?
