run the command 'dmesg' and see what it says.

it is likely that there is some sort of error with your file system
and the kernel has marked the file system read-only to protect it from
damage.

The root cause of this sort of thing is usually hardware failure.
since you are using md, also run a 'cat /proc/mdstat' to see what
state the system thinks the disks are in.

of course be paranoid, and take a good backup.
