Question
File system went read only after adding ssh key
I followed this guide to set up ssh key on my digital ocean droplet, but since I made step 4 my file system went read-only. I changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config from PermitRootLogin yes to PermitRootLogin without-password and then reload ssh; and when I logged back in, I had no writing rights anymore.
I can log in using ssh root@123.45.67.89 but it does not ask me for any password, and I can not modify any file.
Before doing this, I upgraded my ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04, it asked me during the upgrade which setting did I want for PermitRootLogin and when I looked at /etc/ssh/sshd_config after the installation (and after adding my ssh key) it was set on PermitRootLogin yes.

I ran
dmesg | grep "EXT4-fs error"to see if I have any issues related to the filesystem / journaling system itself.It returned many times:
[68241.757233] EXT4-fs error (device vda): htree_dirblock_to_tree:892: inode #533953: block 2108070: comm updatedb.mlocat: bad entry in directory: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0(0), inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0And when I run
sudo fsck -Af -M, it returnsUnable to resolve 'UUID=XYZ:root@DropletName:~# sudo fsck -Af -Mfsck from util-linux 2.20.1
fsck.ext4: Unable to resolve 'UUID=b96601ba-7d51-4c5f-bfe2-63815708aabd'
What can I do?
