Hi,

It remounts the parition when errors occur as readonly.

You have problems with your hd. You need to run fsck to correct errors.

If you can change the mount option to:

HTML Code:

errors=continue

to allow you to carry on, but i would only do this if you you cant continue with the state of your system and can not fix it!!!

I hope this helps.
