File system get auto change from read-write to read-oly

[RC]

I have a very strange file system with OS Redhat 7.2
The file system is read-write, but some how it randomly
changes to read-only at any time. Suddenly all users can
write any in that file system, I have to umount and mount -a
that file system. Then everything back to normal.
This only happen to a particular host, particular file system.

Any idea what cause that happen? Assume nobody know my root
passwd play with me.

Thank Q!

It could mean the drive is dying, especially if the drive is as old as
Redhat 7.2 or older.
