I was creating some directories (mkdir xxxx) while cd'ed to a mounted LV. The first couple of directories were created but subsequent attempts give the following error: #mkdir: cannot create directory `xxxxx': Input/output error The contents of /var/log/messages shows this: Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=43072608, sector=43072608 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 43072608 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device dm-4): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 68, block_bitmap = 2228224 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: Aborting journal on device dm-4.

Hello, You probably have a bad disk under there (hda). Copy data of it as fast as you can, maybe you'll get some of it before it bites the dust completely. Of course if you have backups, just sit back and feel good ;-) The thing that speaks most clearly for a hard error on disk level is: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=43072608, sector=43072608 good luck, Peter On Friday 05 August 2005 16.54, James B.

I am afraid so. I am running e2fsck in non-destructive mode and have about a dozen or so bad blocks reported so far. The Ironic thing is that this is a new high capacity drive installed to host online backups of other servers. It is going back to the dealer once I complete the diagnostics.
