Read-only volumes are not supported by some operating system and file system combinations (for
example, Windows NT or Windows 2000 and NTFS file system). Volumes within read-only zones
are not available to such hosts. However, if these hosts are already booted when the read-only zones
are activated, then read-only volumes are available to those hosts.
The read-only zone feature behaves as designed if either the FAT16 or FAT32 file system is used
with the previously mentioned Windows operating systems.
