Yikes!
Always mount a scratch monkey. (http://edp.org/monkey.htm, f'r'instance.)
Another, more-aggressive way to be sure(r) is to do something like
mount -o remount,ro /dev/whatever
before your test. Assuming it's not a system drive. And assuming
you think you might be about to make a mistake, but if you knew
-that- in advance...
(I really, really wish modern disk drives had physical write-protect
switches on them somewhere. I've wished this ever since they went
away, as part of the transition to nonremovable media.)
