I am getting the following errors on an Intel Dual 1.8Ghz Zeon box with 1gb RAM. Dual Seagate Cheetah U320 (ST336607LC) in software raid 1 on an Adaptec 7902W controller. Kernel version 2.4.20-20.9smp Oct 20 15:25:00 mail kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,18)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=1376263, block=2752514 Oct 20 15:25:00 mail kernel: I/O error: dev 08:12, sector 25165840 Lots more of these Oct 20 15:25:04 mail kernel: I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 443928 Oct 20 15:25:04 mail kernel: I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 443976 Oct 20 15:25:04 mail kernel: I/O error: dev 08:12, sector 65802384 Oct 20 15:25:04 mail kernel: I/O error: dev 08:12, sector 65015952 Lots more of these Server was rebooted at this point after syslog failure and general service stability problems. What-no-mail etc. The server started up and gave file system errors - you would think bad hardware here but of course when fsck was run in maintenance mode everything came back fine. Rebooted and it came up and ran just great apart from this single message (see below). Server has now been up for 20 minutes and is v.busy delivering mail but working just fine.

My question is this. Is there any known issues in the kernel version that I am using 2.4.20-20.9smp that may impact what I am seeing here? Any other comments, suggestions, toilet humor etc. welcomed. Again I am not subscribed to this list please CC me in on the reply. Regards and thanks! Jim jim(at)linux-sp.com
