filesystem suddenly read only!?

very strange,
i have a system that's running for almost 30 days and all of the sudden i can't create any files anymore on the filesystem,
it keeps insisting that it is read only!

eg:
# touch testfile
touch: creating `testfile': Read-only file system

mount says:
/dev/md2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/md1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

what could be causing this?

i'm also running softraid mirror and one of the hd's has been broken for a while but this wasn't a problem for some time since the other drive is still ok.
but maybe that could still be causing wierd things like this?

Are there any error messages in the boot log that could point to what the problem is?

Check syslog for error messages:
Code:
less /var/log/messages
This sounds like a hardware issue.
