I'm not sure if it is your UFS partitions that are in danger of being corrupted, but rather the DOS partitions. I have mounted my DOS partitions as read-only for quite some time now without any problems at all. I have even on occasion remounted them as writable and thrown some files on them. I think as read-only they are quite safe. The only time there may be some problems, if there are still any problems to speak of, is when they are writable.home | help
