[kworker/0:1:13446] And finally, root partition became "RO". and no chance of remounting it. Tried to get the machine down gracefully, but it seems that xend is affected also, as the "xm" command didnot return something readable. Only option was the hard "single sign off" (aka pulling the power-plug) Any sound suggestions anyone can give before i try to switch it on again?
