The affected filesystem went readonly because the need fixing due to 
pending cached operation not commited because removable device was 
unplugged unsafely before the operation ended

Fixing filesystems, require Windows for NTFS and FAT32, and fsck for EXT 
filesystems.

Next time. Either right click eject the device on your gnome desktop and 
wait until it tells you it can be removed safely before doing so.

or on console:

sync
umount /media/removabledevicename


for not bothering it next time. Create fstab entries with the sync 
option for these devices.
