This is an issue that I have been having with one of our production servers for a couple of months, just out of no where /var goes to read only.
There aren't any errors that show up in /var/log/messages nor dmesg, I checked to make sure that the drives on error option is set to continue and there isn't anything as far as I can tell wrong with the disks. Also there is plenty of disk space.
Here is the output of tune2fs -l /dev/sda3:

Here is what is in /etc/fstab:

Here is the output of df -h:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
