The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable

Nice, that might be useful to know. Thank you. (It is, of course, in the nature of "e2fsck -c" to be persistent (unlike "cp" and "dd" which would simply fail). It seemed as if there was a larger cluster of bad blocks, originally, AFAICT. I wonder whether the occurrence would've been different had

Note that in the latest hdparm there is an option to set (and unset) a block as being bad, which is a great way of replicating the problem under controlled circumstances. -- e2fsck / linux kernel chokes on I/O errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64914 You received this bug notification because

Theodore Ts'o: I just caught a slight detail. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'll make a note in case it does. You wrote: "For most (although admittedly not all) write errors, by the time the disk as returned an error, it has retried it a few times." ...specifically speaking of WRITE

Well, it's not a e2fsprogs bug, but a kernel problem. So you could refile this as a kernel problem, even though it's been around for over ten years. -- e2fsck / linux kernel chokes on I/O errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64914 You received this bug notification because you are a member

I was using Breezy at the time, and I've since upgraded to Dapper (which is up-to-date), so the output of those commands now is probably useless. I used the standard (K)ubuntu kernel, apparently version 2.6.12-9 at the time. (I've switched a new drive as hda, on which Dapper resides, and I've the

This is actually a long-standing kernel problem. What you are seeing is that the kernel is retrying too many times in the face of I/O errors. For most (although admittedly not all) write errors, by the time the disk as returned an error, it has retried it a few times. Depending on the device driv
