That might or might not help, depending on how Haiku left it behind.
Running "chkbfs" on the disk should make sure that at least the disk
structure is healthy (more or less, Be's chkbfs isn't really very
thorough).

I don't have a problem with silently ignoring (as you normally know
what volume is read-only and why), but StyledEdit should definitely
mention it.
I've just recently added a few more read-only checks into BFS, but I
guess some are missing - like the permission set. Currently open()
allows O_RDWR also on read-only volumes (like the original BFS), but I
guess I should change that, too :-)
