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.

I've had that happen, also. It usually indicates a drive dying.
