This looks like you have a damaged disk or damaged file system. BlueOnyx 
uses the XFS filesystem and like any other filesystem under Linux? When 
it realizes that something fishy is going on with the disk integrity, 
then it will switch the mount state of the affected partition(s) to 
"read-only" to prevent further damage and to retain at least some form 
of data recovery.

When this happens on a newly installed system, then it is highly likely 
that you have some hardware or *possibly* driver issues. Somewhere 
between the kernel and the disk (drivers, disk-controller, cabling or 
the disk itself) your server has issues.

At that point I'd recommend to try to swap the disk and see if the issue 
goes away. If it doesn't? Then it may be something else (driver or 
controller related). But it sure is something that's outside of the 
scope of what BlueOnyx address.
