Is it read-only to root as well, or everyone but root?

If you want it to be writable by a normal user you will need to add
uid=nnnn to the options.
If you want it to be writable by several users you will need to set the
"gid=" option to a group they have in common, and change the fmask and
dmask so it is writable by the group.
