this is a fairly common error. Though it's been a while since I encountered it. I think it is the result of failing hardware. Most likely the disk is on it's way out. or perhaps its a bad cable, bad controller.. more likely it's a disk issue. Could also be a severly curropted filesystem. > for that phrase yeilds *nothing* -- and I mean *nothing* -- so it appears > that no one else in the history of the planet has ever had this problem. not sure what you ran a search for but I ran one and got back nearly 800 hits. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Attempt+to+read+block+from+filesystem+resulted+in+short+read%22&btnG=Google+Search > Other than that, though I have no ideas.

But it sounds like the disk is going bad, typically when bad sectors start showing up on the filesystem itself there is already extensive damage to the disk itself. disks reserve a certain amount of space to transparently re-map bad sectors, once this space runs out bad sectors start showing up on the filesystem. For me this means immediate RMA in most cases. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
