I am not sure of the possible reasons that could have created the IO errors in the first place. Any clue anyone?

Your drive is quite likely dying. After IO errors the kernel mounts the filesystem readonly so the filesystem does not get any more corrupted, and the box can stay up for recovery of the data. I would buy a new drive and move the data across. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
