Hi all, as you can guess from the subject i have a server (debian 2.0, pentium 200, 500mb ram, 30 gig or so) that is dying on me at random times early in the morning!!
(quite annoying). I've gathered the following from the logs: Jun 5 06:43:42 godzilla kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 16:00): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #126 28: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=3326860705, rec_len=34410, name_len=31708 Jun 5 06:43:42 godzilla kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only Jun 5 06:43:42 godzilla kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 16:00): ext2_find_entry: bad entry in directory # 12628: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=3326860705, rec_len=34410, name_len=31708 Jun 5 06:43:42 godzilla kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only Jun 5 07:02:50 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } Jun 5 07:02:50 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: error=0x40 UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=4512574, sec tor=4512574 Jun 5 07:02:50 godzilla kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00, sector 4512574 Jun 5 07:03:00 godzilla kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jun 5 07:03:01 godzilla kernel: ide1: reset: success Jun 5 07:03:08 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } Jun 5 07:03:08 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: error=0x40 UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=4512720, sec tor=4512720 Jun 5 07:03:08 godzilla kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00, sector 4512720 Jun 5 07:03:19 godzilla kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jun 5 07:03:21 godzilla kernel: ide1: reset: success Jun 5 07:03:31 godzilla kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jun 5 07:03:35 godzilla kernel: ide1: reset: success Jun 5 07:03:43 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } Jun 5 07:03:43 godzilla kernel: hdc: read_intr: error=0x01 AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=4512574, secto r=4512574 When the techie on call at that time put a monitor on the box he saw "Couldn't get free page..." all the way down the screen and couldn't get a prompt. (Forcing us to hard reboot the system). The only two things that have been added to the computer recently have been: a backup drive (running off an adaptec scsi card) that does a tar backup at about 2 in the morning, and the new version of zeus. (we upgraded to 3.3.6a). For the meantime i'm going to downgrade zeus, but surely someone has come across something similar in the past?
