(Synopsis: Problem is occuring on ext3 partitions)
Hey all,
Don't know if this is related or not, but on Friday I upgraded my debian box from a 2.4.25 kernel to a 2.6.8-smp kernel. The former was compiled by me (had to enable the 4GB memory), the latter was installed straight up with the vannilla debian kernel package (binary, smp).
Yesterday morning, the system detected errors in the disk and remounted it read-only, and is now giving read errors all over the place.. however, both partitions are _EXT3_ format, and someone was asking if this happened with such a disk format. The drives are a hardware-mirrored container of two MAXTOR 73GB drives.
I believe someone else mentioned upgrading from a 2.4 kernel before having this problem; perhaps this is relevant? Is there an official location where known bugs/symptoms/causes/fixes/etc will be posted as this problem is catagorized?
Many thanks;
G
While I don't think it's relevant, for the sake of full disclosure (you never know when someone else is going to say 'Hey, I did that too!'), after installing the new kernel (and checking that it worked), I also installed a new raid container of 3 new fujitsu drives, but they haven't been mounted yet anyway.. so like I said, I doubt it's relevant.
