File system remount operation with selectable access modes that saves knowledge of the volume path and does not interrupt an executing process upon changing modes

摘要

A system and method are provided for processing filesystem commands for use in a computing system of a type in which a filesystem can be mounted multiple access modes. Responsive to a remount command, the filesystem access mode is changed from a present access mode (such as read-only) to another access mode (such as read-write) without disruption of the processes executing in the computing system.
