I used XFS extensively when I was running mail server farms for the mail queue filesystem and I only remember one or two incidents when the filesystem was marked read-only for no reason (seemingly - never had the time to find out why) but a reboot fixed those.
I've had that happen, recently, with ext3 on CentOS 4.
The default behaviour for ext3 on CentOS-5 is to remount read-only, as a safety measure, when something goes wrong beneath it (see mount option "errors" in man mount). The root cause can be any of a long list of hardware or software (kernel) problems (typically not ext3's fault though).
