It looks to me like your system is setup sot that filesystems revert to read-only on errors. The system has detected an error (possibly a read error), and has now reverted the system to read-only. Check your system logs for errors related to the partition that you're having problems with (this includes the devices underlying the LVM). Then, (presuming that it's not a hardware problem) I'd suggest: 1) a backup of whatever data you can currently retreive from the syatem, the, 2) go to single-user and manually run fsck on the suspect filesystem. Check another relatively recent thread about problems with RAID cards on risers (1U and 2U systems).
