Hi, folks! Recently I have been granted with external usb-drive. It's 3TB FA GoFlex Desk of Seagate: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/external-hard-drive/desktop-hard-drive/ I've formatted it as ext4 and plugged into machine running F 15. I use it as apache server directory and as mysql data directory (this computer serves as internal testing server for web-developers). Everything works perfect except that I see a lot of errors in dmesg output: [198659.222949] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_find_entry:933: inode #53477379: comm updatedb: reading directory lblock 0 [198659.222955] EXT4-fs (sdb1): previous I/O error to superblock detected [198659.222958] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_find_entry:933: inode #53477379: comm updatedb: reading directory lblock 0 [198659.222963] EXT4-fs (sdb1): previous I/O error to superblock detected and then this: [199022.120335] EXT4-fs (sdd1): recovery complete [199022.120916] EXT4-fs (sdd1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Should I test it somehow? Is it broken and must be replaced? Another question here. Could anyone suggest how to prevent disk from going into sleep mode? When it sits by weekends without work it stops and after that it takes a few minutes to start it again. By the way, I put following to /etc/fstab in order drive to be mounted during boot process: UUID=632ce2dc-97e5-47ed-9ddf-2217f136e637 /srv ext4 defaults 1 2 TIA -- Hiisi -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
