I have no idea what happned. When I checked my mail this morning I got an
error deleting a message so I wen't to the server and discovered the root fs
was somehow readonly. I tried to remount it and it said it was a read only
device. I rebooted, when grub came up I noticed "ro" in the options. I
removed that and it still booted read only. I have no idea what to do. Can
anyone give me some advice?

Thanks
