Hello all:
My company builds Linux based web content filters using CentOS 4.3
as the base. We always apply updates to the new machines from the
default repositories before deployment. Recently, the last two
CentOS machines we built on Dell Dimension 1100s have failed, and
the root file system seem to be getting corrupted. An e2fsck tries
to recover the journal, but never repairs the machine enough to
completely boot up. This only seems to be happening on the
Dimension 1100s, as we have several other machines built with the
same kernel version and software running on it that have not failed.
The machines are Celeron-Ds, 2.4-2.8 Ghz, with either 256 or 512 MB
of RAM and IDE hard disks.
We've got a handul of 1100s (actually, the 1100n model, mostly because
I love getting a printed copy of the GPL from Dell :-), with CentOS
4.3. No troubles to report.
Can you get to a recovery shell? If so, does 'smartctl -a /dev/hda'
provide any clues?
