I'd say, unless you are using a volume manager that is doing something weird,
which essentially LVM did by keep writing to RO volumes for snapshots, you
should avoid the warning by checking why your device went into RO mode and
fix it.

Block devices shouldn't suddenly enter in RO mode without facing an error
condition or somebody forcing it into RO mode.
