Hi
I have just encountered a disk I/O problem
with a bad sector which is preventing xfs from starting. I have booted from a
Fedora Core 2 recovery disk and run fsck on the device. Everything showed up
clean. I have run fsck again, this time with the -f flag. When trying to reboot
from the hard-drive halfway through the boot process, the filesystem sometimes
gets mounted as read only.
After the file system checks, I get
1.2% non-contiguous.
After the failed attempt to start xfs there are
errors like this
dma_int status=0x51 CHS=35694/0/213, Sector
913784
I have also seen Bus error s.scale.
I don't know an awful lot about drives and
file systems. What kind of tools could I use to try and recover from these
errors.Or is this likely to be a case of get a new hard drive?
Hope someone can help
Jon
