assuming you are using ext2/3/4 on your VM's disk - the mount option "errors=remount-ro" says to remount the fs as read-only if the kernel has any errors accessing the filesystem (e.g. if a disk is dead/dying or the cable is loose etc).
debian at least, and probably other distros, routinely adds "errors=remount-ro" to /etc/fstab for ext filesystems when you build the system.
I would suggest running fsck on that file system to repair any metadata corruption that may have occurred.
