Dear all, when returning back to work after the Xmas-break, my root-file system was mounted read-only. However, I have no idea why this happened -- and problems fixing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Checking my logs, I found: Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20 Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: drive not ready for command Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: timeout waiting for DMA Dec 25 02:54:01 [kernel] ide0: reset: success Dec 25 02:54:03 [kernel] blk: queue c02cfde0, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) and Dec 26 02:50:00 [kernel] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20 Dec 26 02:50:00 [kernel] ide0: reset: success and Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=972554, block=1966176 Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] Remounting filesystem read-only Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted Trying to remount the rootfs rw yields # mount -o remount,rw / mount: block device /dev/hda2 is write-protected, mounting read-only # uname -a Linux komsys-pc-ruf 2.4.23 #1 Tue Dec 2 17:34:37 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux # uptime 12:10:54 up 30 days, 17:58, 8 users, load average: 0.71, 1.37, 1.50 Does anybody know whether this means: the disk is about to die.... wbr, Lukas -- Lukas Ruf | Wanna know anything about raw | <http://www.lpr.ch> | IP? -> <http://www.rawip.org> | eMail Style Guide: <http://www.rawip.org/style.html>| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
