I've been receiving messages in my logs regarding a reiserfs partition I have on my system. At first, I thought that one of my drives was going bad, so I really didn't pay it much attention. Now that I look closer, however, I notice this: Feb 26 00:02:39 JTLinux kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Feb 26 00:02:52 JTLinux kernel: hdb: lost interrupt Feb 26 00:02:53 JTLinux kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Feb 26 00:02:53 JTLinux kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Feb 26 00:02:54 JTLinux kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 26 00:02:54 JTLinux kernel: 03:41: rw=0, want=584642676, limit=8255488 Feb 26 00:02:54 JTLinux kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 26 00:03:05 JTLinux kernel: 03:41: rw=0, want=596901940, limit=8255488 Feb 26 00:03:05 JTLinux kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 26 00:03:05 JTLinux kernel: 03:41: rw=0, want=584642676, limit=8255488 . . .

This is an 8.4gig Western Digital drive, so the number, 8255488 seems reasonable enough. The number 596901940 seems totally unreasonable. Do you think I am looking at a hardware problem, or do you think it could be kernel related? I am using kernel 2.4.1 on a SuSE Linux 7.0 system.
