It was a disk going bad. Get all the data off you need now and replace the disk ASAP. It may run for a few days/weeks before it gets mounted again read only, but eventually you will lose some data.
Hi Alfred. Thanks for the pointer! The smart logs for my drives don't show any errors but I'll start a long selftest just to be sure. Although if it is a failing hard drive then the raid driver should kick it out of the array. Your system was a laptop with just one drive, right? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
