Late answer, but... After posting this, we figured this had to be due to a power failure occuring some weeks before. But yesterday, we suddenly had one other, identical, machine failing with exactly the same error messages: [2834866.071770] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK [2834866.071778] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Hardware Error [current] [2834866.071782] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Internal target failure [2834866.071787] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 302515639 [2834866.071823] EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=9455580, block=37814399 Any ideas? Fsck will fix the errors, but report short reads while fixing, and on reboot/remount, the problems are back. As this probably isn't relevant to ext3 list anymore (I guess it's more relevant for kernel/SCSI subsystem developers), I'll find some other lists. -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard@xxxxxxxxxxx> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)] _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
