> smartctl -l error /dev/hda You are write... what is worse is that both hda and hdc have errors, hda: ATA Error Count: 6 (device log contains only the most recent five errors) hdc: ATA Error Count: 49 (device log contains only the most recent five errors) (should it be need: www.e-den.it/misc/smart-a smart-c) > Worse yet it appears that your bad block contains a part of the > reiserfs superblock which would be why you can't mount the filesystem. But does this mean that it failed reading from *both* HD? Shouldn't it use both HD to read and one should provide the information in case the other fails? I'm really puzzled. Last year the same server lost 2 disk in a day in a way that they where not even recogniable by the bios... Here are the logs that refer to reiserfs, I wanted to understand if it is possible that the superblock is positioned in both disk on bad blocks...
