Lennart Poettering has a simple nvmet service in systemd, turning the 
entire system into an nvmet-tcp target exporting the root device.
(He needs it for testing and debugging his systemd changes).
But obviously that would expose his HDD to _anyone_, and so to prevent
$RANDOM_PERSON to access and possibly delete files on his HDD he would
like to have a 'readonly' setting.

Cheers,

Hannes
