Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to run the filesystem server in a read only mode.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I need to copy any directories that I want to protect from writes to a new directory and mark those files as read only. If anything is written to, it generates an error. As a workaround I put the directory copy under revision control so I can see what was changed and revert it.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; first locate the filesystem server and the code paths that perform writes. Define how a configurable read-only mode should be exposed, then verify that protected directories reject writes while remaining readable, including coverage for the new setting.
