On this version 5.4-stable (as of 29 apr) readonly has no effect for
mdconfig, it's documented somewhere, (certainly I at least remember
seeing it in the code). I'll have another look later and see if anyone
has changed md's to actually honour it.

Many thanks though, I didn't think I was ever going to get any
suggestions on this one!
