When I ran fsck after the first bout of failure, it did report a lot of errors. I do not have a copy of that fsck transcript; however, I have not yet run fsck since my second attempt. Is there a method of capturing the transcript that is preferred?

Did fsck report any errors? Do you have a copy of your fsck transcript? The errors you've reported do make me suspicious that there's something unstable with your hardware... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
