Many filesystems support read only mounts only. We do fill in right granularities and limits for these filesystems as well. In keeping with the trend, I have added the warning accordingly. I don't think I have a preference either way. But, not warning for the red only mounts adds another if case. If you have a strong preference, I could add it in.
