It looks like a Harddisk issue. Check if you have 'Journal has aborted'
line in /var/log/messages or 'dmesg' output. If you look at the lines
above  "Journal has aborted" line, they can tell you what happened and
why read-only remount occurred.

Also, Use any SMART utility to see if you have Status=Fail on
'raw-read-error-rate', 'seek-error-rate', 'reallocated-sector-count'
attributes.

Thanks,
