I am running Debian 7.8 (wheezy) which is installed on a Windows Hyper-V server (not managed by me). However, the server frequently goes into 'read only' mode and I am not sure why. I have looked in dmesg but, to be honest, I do not know what I am looking at or for. I ran fsck after reboot and there were errors e.g.
fsck died with exit status 4
...
Inotes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. Fix
Inode <number> was part of the orphaned inode list. FIXED
...
Block bitmap differences: ....
Free blocks count wrong for group ...
After the reboot everything is ok.
Here is the output from dmesg after I ran fsck:
