O.K. seems many people still have this problem. The original bug report talks about /var/log/syslog.
I think there is another bug that I experience and many other people do too. There is no error in the log files. The system suddenly goes read only without writing anything to the logs. As far as my very limited knowledge of linux goes, that means I should check dmesg when this happens?
My work around for this bug has been to switch to cinnamon and never shutdown/reboot unless I really must. I suspend the pc and now the read only filesystem only happens every 2 or 3 months. Then fsck still deletes some files on reboot, usually firefox cache files, sometimes icons and rarely other files. Like movies :( and yes my HDD is perfect.
I did read that there is a kernel issue for people who frequently shutdown/reboot their system that causes this issue but I can't find it again. Apparently is was a comment made by one of the kernel developers.
