similar to: Help on ext3 file system corruption issue

Wondering if anyone here might better be able to diagnose an issue we're seeing, or point me to some guidelines for this sort of thing. There are two machines with identical hardware, both running Red Hat 7.3's stock SMP kernel (required due to third party software). Both have come down with the same symptoms after having run fine for a number of months. The initial errors were these:

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

All, Trying to figure out how to deal with, I assume, a dying disk that's unfortunately on / (ext3).

Hello all. I'm using RedHat 7.2 now and haven't have any problems until today. I can still boot into the system at this time, but cannot load X at all. I'm getting the following error message when I try to run fsck. /contains a file system with errors, check forced.

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. All plain IDE (not sata) --------------------- Kernel Begin

I've got an approximately 100GB ext3 FS which we recently sized down from 300GB using e2fsadm (with the disc offline obviously). I noticed the following in dmesg the other day: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14827639 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14041793 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc:

Any unpriveledged user can abuse the syslog facility in an interesting way. The following example is a good one that can put misleading information in the logs. ------------------------------- #include <syslog.h> void main(void){ const char *mesg1 = "hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { SeekComplete DataRequest Error } { UncorrectableError }, CHS=157/2/9, sector=2826\0"; const char

Hi, I get the below from dmesg. The server seems to run fine, but it does worry me. What should I do?

I am running RH 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x. Recently I have added a new 60GB Quantum IDE hard drive to the server. I have set it up as a MASTER on a separate IDE channel. Two partitions on the /dev/hdc are /dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2 - both using ext3. For more detailed HDD parameters, this is 'hdparm -i /dev/hdc': ----------------- /dev/hdc: Model=IC35L060AVV207-0, FwRev=V22OA66A,

Hi, I run hundreds of Redhat 8.0 boxes and Fedora Core 1 boxes, both Operation systems boxes give me some trouble reporting disk errors like the following (collected from /var/log/messages of each linux boxes by my own script). And a "badblocks" command on some of the related hard drive reports that failed sectors found, while others reports no, false-positive. Any one can give me

I've got a new PE2950 rack system with PERC controller and 6 drives set up contiguously as one RAID5 volume on the PERC controller. Using 64-bit CentOS 4.4, I partitioned for /boot having 100 Meg, swap having 2 gig, and / with the rest (removed LVM). After the install was complete, the system rebooted and just gave me a broken grub prompt (not the graphical Grub boot selector, but

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

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,

Hi, I have an ext3 file system question for a while: How to obtain failed file (inode) from LBA section reported by Linux kernel? The following lines are a simple example: ... FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=165843413, high=9,

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

Would the following be symptoms of hardware problems or just a corrupt fs? Will fsck tonight when a new power supply is going into the machine.

I have an apple Xserve RAID attached to a Linux Box, serving one Raided LUN of 2500Gigs, it was functional until the box crashed. When I hard booted it, even though it mounted the FS, I've been unable to access it. Cd-ing to any of its directories gives "Input/Output error". The ls ?la on the FS shows "?" for every field with no permission information. The /var/log/messages

I tried to convert / to ext3, so I went ahead and entered rootflags=noload,journal=355 on the LILO prompt. The kernel failed to mount /: EXT3-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 355 The boot device is a scsi hard disk, so initrd is used to load the scsi driver, before mounting /. So, it looks like the kernel rootflags= arg gets applied to the ramdisk, not the

Erm, sheez having alot of problems :( I have just been reading all the archives on the mailing list for the past few hours and decided to try make the journal with: tune2fs -j -J10 /dev/hdc1 [root@tkw /]# tune2fs -j -J10 /dev/hdc1 tune2fs 1.20-WIP, 17-Jan-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Creating journal inode: done [root@tkw /]# cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdc1 /usr/local ext3

Hi, I got a problem to recover data from Fedora core 1 hosts when hard drives fail. I know that the disks fail because there are error messages like the following logged in /var/log/messages. ..... arc144: Apr 24 12:52:53 arc144 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } arc144: Apr 24 12:52:53 arc144 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError },
