Hi,
Gettings lots of nasty ext3 errors, as follows:
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:06: rw=0, want=1989391900, limit=55167178
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,6)): ext3_free_branches: Read failure,
inode=10092558, block=-1113264762
- several thousand of these in the course of a few seconds
And lots of these:
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,6)): ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not
in datazone - block = 3602131006, count = 1
And then finally (few seconds after the above):
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:06: rw=0, want=274736132, limit=55167178
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,6)): ext3_free_branches: Read failure,

That finally caused the thread that was running to lock solid and the
machine had to be power-cycled.
Sorry I can't put the oops through ksymoops - opportunity lost.
The system is running stock 2.4.18 build patched for lm-sensors
Hardware is:
Abit ST6 Motherboard + 256Meg + 1.2Gig Celeron
2x80 gig harddisks (make unknown !)
2xbttv capture cards
1xnetgear ethernet card
The machine normally runs at around 40% idle, but is doing lot of disk
writes, essentially its capturing video
and writing it to disk (into 2 large partitions, 50 gig each) and its
possible that one of the partitions was fullish (> 95%) - but not
totally full.
Strangely the same sort of things has happened on another customers site
- but that one is now not rebooting (!!!) and so I cannot retrieve any
logs (as I have to do it via modem) - it has a very similar spec.
I've trawled thought linux.kernel and this mailing list and I've read
lots of 2.4.18 + ext3 problem reports, I've also
seen a few things about 2.4.19 and so was thinking about trying a site
with 2.4.20-pre11. Obviously its possible
that a hardware failure has occurred, but same problem on two sites?.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some idea of what might have
happened and what would be a good
strategy to stop this from happening in the future.
I've got a system on test in the office at the moment and we'll be
dragging a failed one back from site to do more testing on so I might be
able to give more details later.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers,
Glen
