I've had several times where the filesystem would go read-only during a 
transaction or just when the computer is left on for awhile. My problem 
happened back with FC5 also and only to the LVM for /. The traditional 
partitions don't seem to have the read-only failures.

In windows, I see a raw data drive for the LVM for / on the installation 
  that sometimes goes to read-only. An 'fsck -y -c 
/dev/hda5vol/LogVol00' usually finds illegal inode entries and corrects 
the errors whenever it happens.
I don't know if visibility in windows has anything to do with the 
problem, but what windows sees, it usually troubles in some way.

Are you using an LVM setup or did you partition with regular partitions?
