I turned MULTI_MODE on at a suggestion aimed to fix these very problems... they certainly are hardware errors but as we know anecdotally from other postings, the hardware can be perfectly ok and the errors still persist. as my drive is brand new and I had no such errors before installing a PV on it, it seems reasonable to think it's not the drive. is my data at risk of corruption? I've slowly been checking the integrity of files but I'm concerned about backing up bad data! -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com [mailto:linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Caulfield Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 7:30 AM To: linux-lvm@sistina.com Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] read_intr errors On Wed, Oct 17, 2001 at 02:27:21AM -0700, Erick Calder wrote: > hi everyone, I've read a number of dialogues on the archives concerning the > errors below which I'm getting but have not found any answers: > > I'm running RedHat 7.0 (2.4.9 kernel + LVM 1.0.1rc1) on a little PIII box > and I'm using the ide controllers built into the motherboard (drivers built > into the kernel - not modules).

I'm afraid they look a lot like hardware errors to me. It might just be that it doesn't like MULTI_MODE though.
