Hi.
Our VM has been running for the past 6 month without a hitch and yesterday we hit a problem. Something forced the VM into read only mode. I can connect with ssh (both putty and ftp clients) with some issues, have to restart the server a few times for it to work. Once I get in I try to create file and get the message that the server is in Read-only file system.
As I said, I tried restarting and I also tried removing the server (including the cloud service) according to this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsazure/en-US/cae5d9d5-65a3-41b7-83d6-3cc24c418c18/vm-becomes-unresponsive-or-disk-becomes-readonly?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows
And after some problems I got it up and running again however with no change to the read-only status.
Host caching is set to: <HostCaching>ReadWrite</HostCaching>
This seems to be a known issue and I urgently need a fix for it.
Any other particular info you need, lemme know and i'll add.
