Hi, I run nightly backups on my external USB drive using dirvish and it has been working perfectly since the last few days when I started them. However, when I went to work on the machine this morning, I heard some wierd noise and noticed that the external USB was the cause of the noise. Usually, it spins down after a few mintues of activity but today it is spinning and making a noise.
I checked the processes and to my surprise dirvish was still running. On checking the syslog I have repeated listings, Aug 4 06:58:06 localhost kernel: SCSI error : <0 0 0 0> return code = 0x6000000 Aug 4 06:58:06 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 276642847 Aug 4 06:58:06 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 21473324 Aug 4 06:58:06 localhost kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sda2 What should be the correct method to stop dirvish now? Do I just kill the process! I had upgraded the kernle to 2.6.12 a few days ago. Could it be due to that? But I have a feeling that it could be something else as the backups were done when I checked yesterday morning. /KS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
