Read only filesystems are generally the result of the drive timing out
on write operations. Usually this means bad blocks on the disk.
Smartctl -a /dev/sda or whatever your disk device is will show any
errors the drive has logged. Additionally check /var/log/syslog or
/var/log/messages (depending on distro) and look for timouts or errors
with your disk device.
Backup your data asap.

My Lenovo has two operating systems dual-booted, Mint 17 and Ubuntu 64 bit.
Lately, I am getting read-only file system issues and other problems
on boot up, when running Mint, which is my main OS and where my
development server is located. I don't seem to get those problems when
running Ubuntu. Should I just do a reinstall of Mint and see if that
fixes the problem, or go for a full hard drive replacement?
Temporarily I am copying files over to the Ubuntu side and doing
massive backups with backups of the backups.
