Hi,
I have some disk problems: when I try to access certain files, I hear
strange sounds from the hard disk, the computer has a delay, and I get
the following type of messages in /var/log/messages:
Dec 1 23:05:36 localhost kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete
Error }
Dec 1 23:05:36 localhost kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError },
LBAsect=34897754, sector=1048672
Dec 1 23:05:36 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:0a (hda), sector
1048672
Dec 1 23:05:36 localhost kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,10)):
ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=59969, block=131084
Anyone knows what is it, and how can it be fixed?
This is a very strong indication of a bad sector (especially if the
problem persists). If you value your data, you better replace the drive.
Probably even if you don't.
Thanks,
