From e6bc45d65df8599fdbae73be9cec4ceed274db53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 19:19:40 -0400 Subject: vfs: make unlink() and rmdir() return ENOENT in preference to EROFS If user space attempts to remove a non-existent file or directory, and the file system is mounted read-only, return ENOENT instead of EROFS. Either error code is arguably valid/correct, but ENOENT is a more specific error message.
