My guess is it was remounted read-only due to a hard disk error. I have
to admit, though, that the first part of the message can also be
understood to mean that he for some reason made it read-only
deliberately.
Mr. Gosh: If your root file system became read-only "suddenly, on its
own", then it is likely that there is a problem with your hard disk. You
may have to buy a new one. Make sure that you have up-to-date backups of
all your important files. You can check /var/log/syslog for error
messages about your hard disk. If you tried to reboot already and the
root file system is still read-only then there may be errors occurring
during every boot. In that case you really have to get a new drive as
soon as possible.
