Re: inodes, fsck and read-only file systems, Oh my!

Read only filesystems are generally the result of the drive timing out 
on write operations. Usually this means bad blocks on the disk.

Smartctl -a /dev/sda or whatever your disk device is will show any 
errors the drive has logged. Additionally check /var/log/syslog or 
/var/log/messages (depending on distro) and look for timouts or errors 
with your disk device.

Backup your data asap.
