Are there any messages on the console or in the log. Is it just one 
partition you can't write to?
Do you have problems writing or reading from other applications?
Can you give some statistics about your system and disk configuration?
Any used hdpram parameters or mount options?

It still should work. Can you replicate this with an older kernel?
And what kernel are you running now?
