I just inherited a 7.2 RedHat server to admin. I noticed that the backup failed and started to investigate. I looked in the /var/log/messages and noticed the following errors:

I noticed that it happened when anything hit a certain file. I tried to delete the file, then it's directory, but would only get a "segmentation fault". I then moved the directory to see if I could delete it after that, but still no luck. I than reboot the server and finally was able to remove the file. I was able to solve the problem, but I have no clue what the actual problem was or if it's a sign of bigger things to come. I would be forever grateful if someone could actually explain what had happen.
