Description

It seems ZFS allows users to think their storage is writable even if it isn't:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/187951/sg-1100-update-from-23-09-1-to-24-03-keeps-failing/
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/188089/sg-1100-installing-24-03-via-usb-issue/

My idea is to somehow test if the underlying storage is actually writable, and show a warning to the user. And/or on Plus, check if the eMMC EOL is at 0x0a or 0x0b at boot (this could create a marker file on disk, rather than regularly checking).
