A disk timeout error could cause a filesystem to be remounted
read-only. And if /var is on the same disk, you wouldn't necessarily
see the errors (since, after all, it is now read-only!).
I would start by making /var a separate filesystem if you haven't
already. Heck, put it on a different virtual disk if you have to...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have moved /var to a separate virtual
disk. Hopefully this will give me some clue as to why the root
filesystem keeps becoming read only. If it does turnout to be a disk
timeout do you have any suggestions as how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
James
