Basically: - your logwatch messages says you have a problem with the EXT4 filesystem on /dev/sdb. - you say /dev/sdb is formatted as EXT3.
Ben, That's why I'm trying to understand why logwatch started showing this warning last week. There is no /dev/sdb until I insert a USB flash drive or turn on the external backup hard drive and manually mount it. When I turn on the external hard drive fdisk -l shows /dev/sda and /dev/sdc, the external drive is the latter. By default, the external drive's UUID is mounted on /dev/backup where dirvish finds it each night.
Since logwatch isn't giving you the error, check dmesg for sdb related messages: $ dmesg |grep sdb
Nothing. This desktop is acting very flaky which is why I'm trying to migrate to the new one. The kernel warning might well be part of the flakyness. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
