There is something else that writes, however, that I have gotten complaints about. (But I have not investigated.) People doing forensics take a copy of a disk and want to preserve that copy as-is, never changing a single bit, only looking at it. But it is reported that also when a partition is mounted read-only, the journaling code of ext3 will write to the journal.
