Hello After compiling and booting a RH 8.0 box with a 2.4.19 vanilla kernel i've started to experience some problems on my /home partition, (i/o errors on 2 files). After rebooting the machine failed the to mount /home and dropped me in the recovery shell. The fsck is still running after 9 hours. The system is a dual athlon MP with 1Gb ram and ASUS MB. the /home patrition is mounted on 3 120 Gb maxtor disks on ATA 100 bus in RAID 5 (software). The point is: i've heard same problems from another sysadmin switching on vanilla kernel on is RH 8.0 box with ext3.Hello After compiling and booting a RH 8.0 box with a 2.4.19 vanilla kernel i've started to experience some problems on my /home partition, (i/o errors on 2 files).

The point is: i've heard same problems from another sysadmin switching on vanilla kernel on is RH 8.0 box with ext3. Question one: Is really normal that fsck takes so long or i can just consider the partition dead and reboot? Question two: It was just an unluckly coincidence or there is some know incompatibility between RH 8.0 and vanilla kernels on ext3? Best Regards and Thanks in advance Zeist _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
