Right. That has been the standard behaviour of ext2 and ext3 on certain critical corruptions for a long time. On ext3, it is usually accompanied by log messages about the journal aborting; all future writes get the EROFS fs-is-readonly error. Of course, if this hits the partition with /var on it, your logs stop being recorded too. Serial or network console is invaluable in debugging such cases. (I use ttywatch to monitor serial console on all my test boxes.) --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
