Yes, of course. I mean "md5sum /dev/sda1".

It's mounted read-only (actually also "noatime", although that is
implied by "ro"). The access times cannot change. Nor the other
metadata. And in fact they don't: "ls -Rl", "ls -Rlc", "ls -Rlu" report
no changes in the metadata.

Good point, that is probably important. ext3.

I do NO write operation whatsoever on it. It is not allowed to change in
ANY way.
