Description
- provide a way for the administrator to go to read only mode
- files can still be accessed, but only be read and no writing to the database/cache happens
- writing to log file should not be limited in my opinion
- would make backups easier - no need to snapshot DB and filesystem at the very same time - go to read-only mode and do the backup then
drawbacks:
- last seen time can't be written
- download activites can't be logged

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Begin by tracing how administrator-controlled maintenance or read-only state could affect file access, database writes, cache writes, and logging; done means backups can run while reads continue and all specified write restrictions are enforced.
