My test server was in very eavy load, running kolab's components: postfix, cyrus-imap and openldap A second test machine was sending, and reading emails as fast as it can. The CPU was never idle ! I left the server at about 17H30 and at 22H I find it "uncommitted" (difficult to work when the partition in read-only !) However the mount command report it as RW ! The /boot is still RW for real indeed.
some more info

Any idea ?
The system is still up and running until I need to carry on my test further.
