When mounting an ext3 filesystem, the following option are accepted:
(*) == default
ro Mount filesystem read only. Note that ext3 will replay
the journal (and thus write to the partition) even when
mounted "read only". Mount options "ro,noload" can be
used to prevent writes to the filesystem.
journal=update Update the ext3 file system's journal to the current
format.
