[ale] mounted filesystem becomes read-only

[Lightner, Jeff]

I never worked on the 300 - I read about 8 MB in the manual (light
reading one night while waiting for the backup to finish).  I'm thinking
that was what it said it could hold but its possible it said it was what
it had by default.   

It was underpowered for the app running on it so we actually replaced it
with a 3B2-600 shortly afterward (and had to sign an NDA with AT&T as it
wasn't yet in general release - they gave it to us because we were the
first location of hundreds and if they hadn't it would have killed the
whole deal).

I'm pretty sure 3b2-300 was limited to 8 and the 400 would go to 16?
