Most definitely a disk failure, best option is to replace it FAST!
In my experience, that is always the cause. Check the kernel logs. And don't reboot until you are ready to replace it, when it goes down, its not going to be coming up again so you will have a more serious outage William

Can't do that right now, it's a production server and the read-only file system is only affecting 3 users.

Good People(and Bad ones as well),
I got a read-only file system error on one of my hardisks on a Linux box and quickly switched to root and did 'mount -o remount,rw /where/i/wanted/it/to/be/mounted/ ' but I keep getting the error 'mount: block device /dev/sdb2 is write-protected, mounting read-only' .
I have also tried to unmount it so that I mount it afresh, i.e 'umount /where/it/was/mounted/ but I get the error 'umount: /where/it/was/mounted/: device is busy' ! Is there something i'm missing here?
