Hi guys, Not 100% sure where to go with this one.... I've been having an issue with a particular server where after 30 days or so of uptime the / partition will go readonly after spitting the following to the console: EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_xattr_block_list: inode 4932068: bad block 9873979 Aborting journal on device md2. Dec 25 18:17:27 wireless kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_xattr_block_list: inode 4932068: bad block 9873979 Dec 25 18:17:27 wireless kernel: Aborting journal on device md2. ext3_abort called. Dec 25 18:17:27 EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_journal_start_sb: wireless kernel:Detected aborted journal ext3_abort called. Remounting filesystem read-only Dec 25 18:17:27 wireless kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal Dec 25 18:17:27 wireless kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_xattr_block_list: inode 4932068: bad block 9873979 Dec 25 18:17:36 wireless kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_xattr_block_list: inode 4932068: bad block 9873979 I'm a bit confused here as from what I understand, if there are bad blocks on a disk the disk should be kicked from the array - however ext3 seems to figure out there's a bad block by itself and nominates /dev/md2 as the culprit... Can anyone shine some light on what is going on here - as I'm not quite as cluey with this stuff as I probably should be ;) -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@xxxxxxxxx Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
