Hi everybody, Again it happened that my machine decided that the root FS should be remounted as read only (interestingly enough, only the root FS, even though there are different LVM Volumes on that disk... onle SYSTEM-ROOT is being remounted. Luckily I would say, as this allows the system to continue writting it's logs to /var (SYSTEM-VAR in my system).
From the /var/log/messages I get:

Any suggestions? Funnily, as it's the root FS, I can't remount it now without a reboot... Tips and tricks are welcome.
