Hello, I got a bunch of these into dmesg:
EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,2)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #323880: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,2)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #323888: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,2)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #323882: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 The kernel is 2.4.35 SMP, dual-processor. The scsi driver is Fusion MPT SCSI Host driver 2.05.16. The device is /dev/sda2, root fs. One line per each directory had dropped into dmesg each night (I think during updatedb) before I noticed. The directories in question have not been written to for ages: >debugfs /dev/sda2 debugfs: ncheck 323888 Inode Pathname 323888 /usr/share/doc/logcheck-1.1.1 debugfs: ncheck 323882 Inode Pathname 323882 /usr/share/doc/dev86-0.15.5 debugfs: ncheck 323880 Inode Pathname 323880 /usr/share/doc/mod_put-1.3 The hardware _should_ be solid, although I can never 100% sure rule out disk level corruption. Does this ring any bells to anyone, short of block level corruption? -- v -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
