File systems that go readonly are almost always caused by underlying hardware problems. You should look in your logs at the first things that happened immediately prior to it going r/o. If your /var filesystem is on the disk with problems then your logs may be incomplete but perhaps running `dmesg | less` will still have enough info in it to be of help.
