Okay, quite often the configuration of a feature or application mandates that the data on the disk doesn´t change while you activate it. Okay, an easy way would be simply unmounting the disk. Okay, that´s possible but then you can´t access the data on the disk at all. You can´t even read from the filesystem, albeit this doesn´t change anything on the disk (okay, as long you´ve mounted the disk with noatime).
