exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above

It is an error about the file system itself being in read-only mode, which is pretty serious. You would need to get ahold of your datacenter, NOC or hosting provider to ask them to reboot the system and run a file system check when the system has been taken down. Please ensure you have full account backups off the server before having the system rebooted.

[cPanelTristan]

Are you able to create files in /var location now? Are you getting any further file system read only mode alerts anywhere?

Hello,

You can simply run the command 'touch /var/test.file'.

If it doesn't reply with a read-only file system error, you should be ok.
