Michael, Please check how the dasd driver sees the dasdd disk ( /proc/dasd/devices ), read/only or read/writable. If it says "rw", then the journalling code seems to want to write to the disk, even if you say "ro" or "ext2". If it says "rw", then you can issue "blockdev --setro /dev/dasdd" before you mount the disk and your dasd error messages will disappear.
