Hi all -
	This seems like an obvious answer, but I didn't see anything in
the man pages or the FQ so...

If I mount *all* of my partitions as read only (ignoring the problems of
needing to write log files, etc. for now) and then cut the power to the
server, is there any chance of corrupting the disk?  It seems that FreeBSD
wouldn't do it, but would the disk itself do it?

Thanks!
