Recently, I posted that I got these errors with my hard drive:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=2342358,
sector=2342294
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01, sector 2342294
It also crashed on occasion. Running "e2fsck -cvf /dev/hda1" didn't fix
the problem. At Bruce's suggestion, I tried running the badblocks
program. It found 48 bad blocks. I then ran "e2fsck -l BadBlocksFile
/dev/hda1" where BadBlocksFile was the output from running badblocks.
Everything appeared to worked great for a while after that. I did a
complete backup of the hard drive without getting any of these messages
(previously, I got many of these errors during backups and sometimes a
crash). Running the badblocks program after that did not turn up any bad
blocks.
I then left town for a few days. When I came back, we were once again
getting these messages. I tried doing the same fix as before. Running
badblocks revealed the same 48 bad blocks as before. However, now after
running "e2fsck -l BadBlocksFile /dev/hda1" the problem still persists. It
appears that the bad blocks aren't being put in the list of bad blocks for
the filesystem. But, running "dumpe2fs /dev/hda1" shows that those blocks
are indeed marked as bad blocks!
Any thoughts on what could be happening and what I could try next?
Thanks,
Gerry
