Xsan: Don‘t set Metadata or Any Data storage pools to "Read Only"

If you set a Metadata or Any Data storage pool to Read Only, you won't be able to mount the Xsan filesystem. When you try to mount it at a client, the filesystem will stop and a "PANIC" error message will appear in the cvlog.

To avoid this issue, never set a Metadata or Any Data pool to Read Only. To work effectively, Xsan must be able to write to these pools.
