I might suspect a bug in the device driver, but you had problems both
from your hard drive, and from the rescue disk, and I assume at least
one of them would have a good driver.  It's always a good idea to check
the cable.

When jfs detects metadata corruption, it marks the file system dirty and
forces the mount to read-only.  This is to prevent causing further
damage by making changes on top of unreliable metadata.  It will only
mount read-write after fsck has fixed the problems, if it can.

You still should with a read-only mount.
