-The I/O error actions defined for each behavior are detailed in the previous
-section.
+The run-time I/O error actions defined for each behavior are detailed in the
+previous section. Mount time I/O errors will cause the mount operation to fail.
+The handling of read-only zones also differs between mount-time and run-time.
+If a read-only zone is found at mount time, the zone is always treated in the
+same manner as offline zones, that is, all accesses are disabled and the zone
+file size set to 0. This is necessary as the write pointer of read-only zones
+is defined as invalib by the ZBC and ZAC standards, making it impossible to
+discover the amount of data that has been written to the zone. In the case of a
+read-only zone discovered at run-time, as indicated in the previous section.
+the size of the zone file is left unchanged from its last updated value.
