Hello,
I have a new FC3 box running with an Adaptec SATA RAID 2410SA. I am using 3 WD Raptors in raid 5, with 1 spare. I initially had a problem with Fedora loading the raid card driver which was resolved by disabling Hyper-Threading in the Bios.
Anyways, the box had been running great for a week until now. Here's a little snippet of the messages it had:
EXT3-fs error (device sda7) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted scsi0 (0:0): rejecting I/O to offline device Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 360450 lost page write due to I/O error on sda2 EXT3-fs error (device sda7) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted EXT3-fs error (device sda6) in ext3_setattr: Journal has aborted scsi0 (0:0): rejecting I/O to offline device Buffer I/O error on device sda5, logical block 1 Buffer I/O error on device sda5, logical block 2
etc. etc.
This seemed to happen around 4:01am (when cron.daily runs). The partitions were in read only mode and I couldn't even execute a "shutdown -r" without generating an Input/Output error.
Now, I'm a little confused on how to proceed. After a hard reboot the box is working perfectly again.
Does this seem like bad drives? bad raid card?
Would Read/Write caching on the RAID card cause any problems? Currently it's enabled.
Is there any sort of stress test I can run to attempt to duplicate this problem?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
- Darren
