We're getting the below errors about once a day on a system we're trying to
set up with RedHat 7.3. This has happened to multiple filesystems on
multiple physical and logical disks (basically we've got 4 drives as 2 sets
of RAID 1 arrays, details below).
Until a week ago, this box was a high-volume IMAP server running RedHat 6.2
with uptimes in the 200-day range, so I don't believe it's a hardware
problem.
Has anyone seen this? If someone will give us some pointers, we are willing
to put the time into a debugging-enabled kernel.
I see various complaints about ext3+software RAID 1 in the archives, but
they all seem to come down to older versions or hardware (mostly RAM)
problems.
