block device, beyond specifying that the mount must be read-only. For example, under Linux, ext3 requires
that -o ro, noload is used. The noload option directs the file system not to attempt to replay the journal.
Read-only mode must be considered a final opportunity to migrate data off the device since device failure is
more likely with continued use.
The IO Accelerator might enter failure mode. In this case, the device is offline and inaccessible. This can be
caused by an internal catastrophic failure, improper firmware upgrade procedures, or device wears out.
IMPORTANT:
• For service or warranty-related questions, contact the company you purchased the device
from.
• For products with multiple IO Accelerator devices, these modes are maintained independently
for each device.
