Not sure. I don't think fsck checks every block. The errors I saw certainly were consistant in location on the LVM, but there were no corrisponding errors on the hardware. You can try the following cat /dev/vg.../lvol/... >/dev/null # where vg and lvol are appropriate for your file system. cat /dev/hd... # were hd is your physical device. If you get errors on one and # not the other, you too will be an example of the problem we are talking about. -- Karl Hakimian
