A recent SAN system upgrade sort-of killed 19TB of storage volumes, making
them "read only".

Since we are having pathing issues, plus we need to perform fsck on these
volumes due to the journal being screwed-up,  I wanted to disable use of
these disk volumes without killing the server, if possible.

When I look in the book for UPDATE VOLUME WHERESTATUS=OFFLINE,   all it
says is Update volumes with a status of OFFLINE .  What exactly does that
mean?  What happens to the contents?
