You can't create new things on a read-only filesystem, you can in S3; not a good analogy.

You can't create new things on a read-only filesystem, you can in S3; not a good analogy.
- akerl_ 3y agoI wasn’t making an analogy. I was asking how read-only filesystem works given the parent commenters description of what makes something a filesystem.
- yencabulator 3y agoIt's a filesystem where many operations return an error (historically, EROFS). There are many things you can't do with one. Is that interesting somehow? I don't agree with defining a filesystem as something that has to be backed by a block device, but the shape of a filesystem API is historically very different from the shape of the S3 API.
