Hello everyone.
I'm running Red Hat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-10 and all errata patches
installed. My system has been running for over three years without any
problems. All I've done to it in that time is add a mirror set of two
80GB drives, a Promise IDE controller, and upgrade Red Hat through the 7.x
series. Right now I have three drives. A 13GB system drive off the
motherboard, and two 80GB drives software mirrored on the Promise
controller. Everything is running ext3.
Recently, one of the drives in the mirror set died. I decided to replace
both the drives so that I could have a mirror set with two identical
drives. That was about two weeks ago. This past Saturday (Sep 28), I
woke up to find the error below on the console. It wasn't written to
/var/log/messages. The machine was locked cold so I had to reboot it.
It ran fine until this morning (Oct 1) when I woke up and turned the
monitor on to see the same message. This time I wrote down everything on
the screen and typed it back in for this email.
Does anyone know how I might go about debugging this? As I said, the only
thing that has changed recently (the last four months) is the removal of
the old mirrored drives and then the addition of these two new drives.
Thanks in advance for any help.
