readonly

I have tried to find anwser on SF, but no luck. Nothing worked. (and I have just basic knowledge of linux systems - I'm more developer)

Hour ago I noticed that database is not reacting anymore. From some reason system went to readonly mode.

Complete server is now, ofc, unavailable.

Server is VPS in Dutch company, and have no idea what I can do with it now to unlock it.

Every suggestion would be more then appriciated. I tried to save as much of database as possible but there are 20G of images, that would be hard to backup, but I can do that also, if that is something that is smart to do.
