Exactly the same message I noticed less than 1hr before my Maxtor
DiamondMax 9 packed in just before xmas. Annoyingly my drive wouldn't
mount the main data partition but everything else seemed in tact. I
managed to recover all my data from the drive using dd once i had a new
drive.
I'd recommend backing up anything thats essencial on the drive and
preparing for it to give up the ghost.
The drive is a 160 GB PATA Samsung. It's about two or three years
old, running 24x7 (although lightly). The drive has three
partitions, all are ext3.
When I started seeing the above messages, I ran
fsck.ext3 -f -v -c -c /dev/hda?
on all three partitions. Note that the "-c" flag includes the bad
blocks check.
I also ran
smartctl -t long /dev/hda
On the drive. Apparently, an error was found (details below). I'm
not sure if this drive is actually dying, though, as the following
article (by the smartmontools author) suggests that one or two
errors on a drive is nothing to worry about. Also, the SMART
overall-health self-assessment test comes back as PASSED.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983
But the constant kernel messages, along with the error in the "long"
SMART test, concern me. At this point, I'm not really sure what my
next steps should be, so I'm looking for any suggestions or advice.
Thanks!
Matt
