Tried to chmod some files, not working. Says: 'Read-Only', What can i do?

Edit:
Reboot function also stopped working, only method to shut down is my Apc

Edit2: Tried a reboot by apc, no success, ssh is not starting anymore.
Server is pingable.

Btw: the directadmin licence is on another IP, because i was planning to move the server, but they won't allow me to access the datacenter

Why won't who let you access the data center?

In general if a file system is mounted read-only on a Unix or Linux system it's because the kernel found something broken, and remounted the file-system read only so the system wouldn't break further.

I have the same problem too.
my servers suddenly become : Read-only file system
I have more than 5 servers, with the same problem.
I have to type: fschk in data centre.
It is OK after fschk.

I am running FC 3, I haven't updated any kernel.
I don't know if it is the problem of FC3 or not.

How to solve it?
Anyone can help to stop it happened again?

In general ... oh well, just read my previous post.

I don't think you're going to get better information than that here.

You might want to post on the Fedora forum or list to see if there's a specific problem with FC3.
