I'm adding the actual errors I saw, just for the record.
What happens is that the root file system becomes read-only due to
errors on the drive. My root file system is a logical volume on an
encrypted partition (LVM with LUKS encryption), mounted and encrypted
with the following options:
$ mount | grep ubuntu
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root on / type ext4
(rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
$ sudo cryptsetup status nvme0n1p3_crypt
/dev/mapper/nvme0n1p3_crypt is active and is in use.
type: LUKS1
cipher: aes-xts-plain64
keysize: 512 bits
device: /dev/nvme0n1p3
offset: 4096 sectors
size: 498063360 sectors
mode: read/write
flags: discards
When the file system was re-mounted read-only due to errors, I booted
Ubuntu 16.04.2 from a USB flash drive and ran "e2fsck" to repair the
file system:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo e2fsck -pfv /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: recovering journal
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked
list found.
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
So then I ran the command again without the "-p" option, but with the
"-y" option to answer "yes" to all questions, and the command fixed 329
errors:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo e2fsck -fvy /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)

This is the second day I'm running with the Ubuntu 16.04 GA Linux kernel
version 4.4.0-78 (instead of the HWE Linux kernel), and it still seems
to be okay, but the problem can take a few days to appear.
