vdoreadonly - Man Page

vdoreadonly filename

vdoreadonly forces an existing VDO device into read-only mode.

filename must be the path of the VDODataLV as described in lvmvdo(7). Since lvchange(8) will only mount that as read-only, a writable version of that device must be manually created, as shown in the example below.
