    Fixed in revision 1.44 of mdconfig(8)

    I have included the commit log for your reference:

    When using files as backing stores for devices, and the user has requested the
    device be created read+write, check to see if the backing store is read only
    through the use of the access(2) system call. If this check fails returning
    EACCES, EPERM or EROFS then gracefully downgrade the access to read only. Also
    print a warning message to stderr, informing the user that the access mode
    they requested is not available.

    This behavior used to be handled by md(4) but was changed in revision 1.154
