[dba-Tech] Set an entire HD r/o

Yes. Login as an administrator, and set up another user which only has read
only access to that drive. Then login with THAT user, do your experiment,
and it should all be ok when you log back in as the admin.

Is there a way to set an entire hard disk read-only? And if so, a way to set
it back to read-write once I'm done with my potentially catastrophic
experiment?
