When tar'ing up an ext3 filesystem on a 3ware RAID I have, I got the following errors in my system log: Apr 7 21:27:46 allo 3w-xxxx[957]: Drive error encountered on port 3 on controller ID:0. Check cables and drives for media errors. (0xa) Apr 7 21:27:46 allo kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Command failed: status = 0xc7, flags = 0x51, unit #0.

Neither are there are ext3 fs errors in the log. But the disk errors seem to imply to me that there is possible file corruption. Is there anyway to identify which files are sitting on the above sectors of the disk? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
