Xen users - Jul 2008 - Windows HVM guest disk is not write-protected with ''r'' option

Hello,

Using a Windows 2003 guest with second disk device in the xm config file:

disk=[
     'phy:/dev/md4,ioemu:hda,w',
     'phy:/dev/md5,ioemu:hdb,r'
     ]

the second disk is not actually write protected under Windows.  You can, for
example, mount the NTFS volume and create/delete files.

It seems mdadm/nbd should not allow this.

I am using Xen 3.2.1 and would appreciate any comment on this issue.

Thank you,

Stephen Quintero
