Many filesystems on Linux will change to read-only when errors or timeouts =
are encountered. My guess is that=92s what happened to your OpenDJ server.=
Are you using Linux? What filesystem type?
Try manually demounting/mounting the filesystem and see what happens, is my=
advice. Or check the logs. If this is a production server it should be b=
eing monitored by your ops staff and they should be seeing errors, if what =
I suspect happened is really what happened.

1. We were able to see only change log, no data can be found.
2. While attempting to shutdown server, it hangs
3. After killing the sessions, tried restarting and got following errors.
Error initializing log.

Well, that looks to me like the basic problem. DJ needs to write to disk, a=
nd the disk is read-only. The OS might mount a disk read-only if there=92s =
some problem with it, perhaps it is too full or there were some errors on i=
t. Maybe your system log has some clues?
But I don=92t think this is something that DJ is doing. You need to find ou=
t why the disk is read-only, fix it, and then DJ should start up OK.
