I've been having major stability issues over the last week with my alix box
and 0.6 build. I have tracked it down to disk corruption taking place on
the CF card in the asturw partition. Things seem to be exasperated by
constant updates to the flash card from CDR and syslogs, etc that we've been
discussing in another thread. Here is an example of today's heartache...
On booting...
Configuring for unionfs...
Checking asturw filesystem
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether
/dev/
hda2 is mounted.
ASTURW: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
Fsck detected errors on /dev/hda2 (4)
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#
Then on removing the CF card and attaching to my CentOS box to diagnose...
[r...@localhost ~]# fsck /dev/sdb2
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
ASTURW contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes

ASTURW: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
ASTURW: 342/108192 files (0.6% non-contiguous), 4711/216216 blocks
[r...@localhost ~]#
After running fsck and placing the CF card back into the alix box, I boot
again OK and everything seems fine. But as the system has locked up on me
(no calls, no internet access, cannot ssh in) a few times recently I'm
getting worried.
All I can think of is that my CF card is going bad. It's a cheap Adata 1GB
and I have two of them both of which are exhibiting the problem. What would
be a more robust card?
Thanks
David
