Re: [Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 2/2] server: Remember .open(readonly) status

Yes I guess we should push these and test them extensively for 1.16. As for a filter which sets can_write = 0 but opens the underlying plugin for writes (the opposite of the cow filter) I wonder what such a filter would be doing? One could certainly write a readonly filter, but that would needlessly dupicate the -r option. Anything which makes reads have a side effect of writing sounds dangerous. Maybe there is some form of copy-on-read which would do this though?
