I had a case a few weeks ago where the root file system would revert back to read-only because it had trouble writing to the journal. It filled the dmesg output with lots of ext3 error messages. I ended up booting with a rescue disk, removing the journal with some combination of tune2fs, mounting the file system and removing the .journal file. After recreating the journal with tune2fs, the system hasn't given me any more problems (yet).
