Force readonly mount always.
I would want one of my partition to be mounted read only always... How to do that ?
1. /etc/fstab
I know that, in options we can give ro -- so when the machine boots up or 'mount -a' it will be mounted read only. But i dont want that to be mounted when machine boots up.
We will mount that when only required !
2. announcing all users
I can announce all users to use ro mount always, but that is not practical as they may not do it.
As there is sensible data, which for sure we will use only for reading..
Finally, How to force read only mount always for a specific partition ?

mount.nfs
MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8)
NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.
mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
command with limited functionality.
mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a
server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.
OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly.
-v Be verbose.
-V Print version.
-w Mount file system read-write.
-f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.
-n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
an entry.
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.
-h Print help message.
nfsoptions
Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.
NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.
FILES
/etc/fstab file system table
/etc/mtab table of mounted file systems
