:What does "discarding of recovered buffers" in the case of read-only
:mounts mean? Is anything written to disk?

    When you do a read-only mount of a HAMMER filesytem after a crash
    HAMMER must still run all the undo's in order to create a consistent
    view of the filesystem.  It leaves the modified buffers in-memory and
    is not supposed to flush them to disk (it being a read-only mount!).
