sorry
Hello,
I often have to use "rsync --delete" to mirror two very large archives usb disks.
for safety reason, I would like to mount the source read only.
usually I just mount disks in dolphin and use rsync from dolphin xterm. But like this disks are mounted rw
is there a simple way to mount a disk ro as user?
in Dolphin, the action seems to be done by kde-open5, but options do not show ro

Interrims solution, if your source has a consistend mount-point: Create a [nice-name-here].desktop file / starter with the following EXEC= line: EXEC=xdg-su -u root -c /usr/bin/mount -o remount,ro [source-mount-point] Not the nicest (ask for root), but works for sure. Plug the disk in, (it will be mounted read-write), then use the created "program" from above, which will change the drive from read-write to read-only. (You can validate that with a simple call to "mount" in a terminal) Then you can operate (more) safely. - Yamaban.
