I have a VPS, meowc.at, which was running Ubuntu

"Read-only file system".
Try disabling filesystem barriers.
To do this you'll need to:
- Boot into rescue VM
- mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt # for example
- edit /mnt/etc/fstab to add "barrier=0" to the list of options for
the root filesystem, so for example it would read like:
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults,relatime,barrier=0
- umount /mnt
- sudo halt
- boot VPS
Cheers,
Andy
