Sorry for stressing this, but is there a way I can debug this
further? it's a seagate drive connected to a sata_sil controller.
I only get ext3 errors, and it fails after a while whatever I do
Only idea I have is to unmount the drive ( or remount r/o ) and
repeatedly md5sum the block device and see if it ever fails to
correctly read the data, and if you get any errors in your syslog.
If you get no error messages in your syslog and md5sum completes
without error but does not get the same hash each time, then there
is definitely something very fubar with the hardware or deep in the
kernel.
md5sum has now been running in a loop for some 22 hours and completed
11 sums of the drive (md5summing 400 gigs takes a little while). the
md5sum is identical for each test, and the syslog has no error
indications. Then, starting harddisk stresstest, I get this error
again after about an hour testing:
Nov 3 11:33:17 ganske kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda1):
ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block =
1349004846, count = 1
Nov 3 11:33:20 ganske kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda1):
ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block =
1449605700, count = 1
Nov 3 11:33:23 ganske kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda1):
ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 629024587,
count = 1
Nov 3 11:33:24 ganske kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda1):
ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block =
1059741014, count = 1
...
So, error only occurs on filesystem usage, not with direct
blockdevice access.
Any ideas?
