If the access will truly be read-only, then mount the file system as

I don't believe that will work if the dirty flag is on - which it will be
if you are worried about journal replay on (re-)mount.
It will work as long as you don't try to run fsck against it. The file system
driver will whine, but it will mount it.
Creating the fs as ext2 might be sensible.
Back around when Shane and I shared an office, disk drives had
write-enable switches. Is making the drive RO still possible?
