Mounting JFFS2 partitions as read-only and CRC failures

Hi,
I have a question.
I've encountered JFFS2 CRC errors on the lines of
Name CRC failed on node at 0x00b620c8: Read 0x640c8ca3, calculated 0x795111fe

According to http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/jffs2.html#L_messages,
JFFS2 CRC failure messages could mean node corruption caused by media
corruption or unclean reboots.

If the JFFS2 partition is mounted as read-only, is it safe to conclude
that node corruption is unlikely?

Appreciate any insight

Regards,
Iyer
