Hello friends,
I am experiencing some weird beheaviour on one of my computers.
I appologize for the laconic subject, but I really don't know anything
more than that. I'll tell the story in chronological order.
I have an HP server with five SCSI disks.
The disks are _not_ in RAID. I installed FC2 on one disk. I installed a
2.6.11.7 and used it for boot. The server runs some software that I wrote,
and it worked flawlessly for more than three months.
On Thursday I noticed that some of the files under / are not
accessible, reporting Input/Output error.
The file-system itself was in read-only mode.
Soon no file under / was accessible.
fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0 (the disk containing /) reported that the device is
not valid.
The console was full of this message repeating:
"EXT3-fs error (device /dev/cciss/c0d0) in start_transaction: Journal has
aborted"
I booted the machine.
fsck did not report anything, and the computer seemed to work fine.
After a day the problem repeated.
I booted again.
The BIOS reported an error: "POST Error: 1727-Drive Array - New Logical
Drive(s) Attachment Detected"
The boot failed as GRUB complained not to find the disk containing the
kernel file.
I pressed reset again.
This time the machine booted normaly, but somehow I get a feeling that
something is wrong with the machine.
A technition from HP said that everything looks OK hardware-wise.
Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?
Thanks,
Hayim.
