You can ensure that no writes are made on hda6 by running the mount command and 
checking the filesystem mount options.  You should see 'ro' inside parentheses 
rather than 'rw'.  To switch from rw to ro, you can run:
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/hda6

You can make that permanent (for the duration of recovery) by editing 
/etc/fstab.  Add 'ro' to the 'options' portion of the applicable line.
