Hi all,
It turns out that Linux is updating inode timestamps of fifos (named
pipes) that are written to while residing on a read-only filesystem.
It is not only updating in-ram info, but it will issue *physical*
writes to the read-only fs on the disk !
Hi!
I can't give a solution but the workaround is obvious:
mount -t ramfs none /myFifos
