There really should have been some, unless the filesystem that went read-only when the filesystem error occured was where your logs are being kept? Two things I can think of trying: First of all, make sure you have the lasted errata kernel from Red Hat installed. Secondly, consider doing network-based syslogging (i.e., configure syslog.conf to send its logs over the network to a logging server). I generally consider that to be a really good idea for production servers. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
