Not sure if this email is actually making it ot the list my apologies if this shows up several times. I have two dell 2650's, 3 disk raid 5. Both servers on a frequent basis gives the following error, only method to get the server back is to power cycle it. Any suggestions as to what the cause of the error is: Ext3-FS error (device:sda2) in start_transaction journal has stopped According to the raid card the raid5 volume is optimal. I am running Fedora Core3 on one and Core 2 on the other.
