Hi I realise this isn't strictly ext3 related, but I'm trying to find the meanings to some error messages that have started appearing in /var/log/messages on a RH73 system after a recent kernel upgrade (from 2.4.18-19.7 to 2.4.18-27.7). The kernel itself hasn't been modified, and is the stock RH release. The error messages in question are: Mar 19 23:21:26 spike kernel: hda:

My Centos 5.2 box shuts itself down during a long tar -x. There is plenty of disk available. This is new; it worked in the past. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike.

Hi All, I had to reboot a machine as I lost the ssh connectivity to it. I could ping to it though. On rebooting, the dmesg buffer showed the following messsage hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=7520/0/155, sector=1820440 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:02 (hdc), sector 1820440 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady

Hello LINUX GURUS, I am fairly new to LINUX OS, so pardon my ignorance about LINUX OS. I have installed LINUX 7.2 on IBM netfinity 4000R server. OS works fine for few days and start giving me this error message all of a sudden: "kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { Driveready SeekComplete Error }" "kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=4944861,

I wrote a bunch of files to a backup DVD about two months ago and now neither of my drives will read it. I get mount errors from "not a directory" to something like "unrecognized file system type" and so on, usually after a really long wait and a notice about how the drive is write-protected (duh). Here's what happened most recently: # mount /dev/hdc /mnt mount: block

Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed a new hard disk on the original machine. Today this is being reported in logwatch. I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk that is used for storage as hdd.

Hi, Sorry if this is an old and fixed issue but I can't really seem to find a definitive explanation/fix to this in the mail lists. Ever since I upgraded to FC2 my server randomly decides that it can no longer access the disk and "aborts" the ext3 journal leaving it read-only as expected. I've seen the same errors on other mail list, explained away as disk or disk cable

Hello everyone, I''m hoping to find an answer to my problem here. Currently I''m installing xen 2.0.7 on 30 dual opteron machines with 4GB memory. The machines have Tyan K8SR as motherboard with Silicon Image 3114 chip sata controler and 2 x 300 GB Western Digital SATA drives. Each xen server has 5 domUs, where some of them have high traffic and thus require high disk usage.

Help! I am running FC1, with a maxtor 160GB HD installed. Drive is only about a month old. I had just finished moving data from an older HD that was making some funny sounds and throwing some random errors. All was well. Last night we lost power for several hours and 1 machine's UPS/shutdown system didn't power down the workstation. The other 7 in our office did fine. The power

Hi, I'm having some serious problems diagnosing a hardware issue in my linux system. The following error occurs intermittently. I have replaced hard drives and it is still occurring.

Is anyone else having major I/O peaks due to logrotate or other jobs running simultaneously across multiple guests. I have one KVM server running Centos 5.4 with local disk that is seriously suffering as most of the guests rotate their syslog at the same time.

Hi All, I m a novice developer of Linux applications. Recently I faced a file system corruption. (I guess) I have a Kernel 2.4.7-10 with ext3 file system in compact flash.

Hello all, I am new to this list and hope that my mail is not OFF TOPIC. After looking around for 2 months now, to find a solution, I will try it here now. Now the scenario: I bought a new cool dell laptop: INSPIRON 8100, 512MB RAM, NVIDEA GeForce2Go 32MB, 30GB Hitachi hard disk and a DVD. I bought it with WinME preinstalled, because it wasn't possible to get it with linux nor without an
