HDD Dying - Get an alert when remounting RO?

[Scott Elcomb]

Looks like I've a got an HDD dying out on me - over the last few days
there's been lots of issues.  fsck refuses to auto-correct problems
(ala -p) and manual checks (-fvC) are returning ~ 20 bad blocks per
run.

I'll be replacing the drive soon enough, but in the meantime is there
a way I can be notified (audio/popup/other) when the root drive is
remounted as read only?

The tired machine in question is running Gnome under Ubuntu Edgy Eft.

TIA,
- Scott.
