If I were you, I would firstly go about checking the physical integrity of the hard drives themselves, and run memtest86 on the system (if it's a PC, that is). Also, did you check the logs for any kernel messages about it (filesystem warnings, etc.)? That might just be me, though. Someone else might have a real idea. :) Fredrik Tolf _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
