Hi to the list,
I'm using reiserfs v3 in my root partition of my debian testing system
for 3 years without a single problem. It's a quite common 32bit pc.
Since a week (approximately when I began to use 2.6.15.1, don't know
if it matters though) I beginned to see strange errors like this:
kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
kernel: hda9: rw=0, want=42762504, limit=14201397
kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
kernel: hda9: rw=0, want=42762504, limit=14201397
kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
kernel: hda9: rw=0, want=42762504, limit=14201397
and this:
ReiserFS: warning: is_tree_node: node level 24111 does not match to
the expected one 1
ReiserFS: hda9: warning: vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format
found in block 1960. Fsck?
ReiserFS: hda9: warning: vs-13070: reiserfs_read_locked_inode: i/o
failure occurred trying to find stat data of [172 59564 0x0 SD]
The first time I ran "reisefsck --rebuidl-tree" and corrected all the
errors. After few day I had again those errors, so I thinked that my
HD was at the end of his life. However I have another debian system on
the same disk that works without problems. I rebuilt the tree 3 times
this week but after some usage I get again those errors (and often the
system become instable).
I've ran smartctl (my IDE disk supports smart) but it didn't find any
error even doing the short and the long tests.
Then I thinked about badblocks, I've read the faq on the namesys site
so I ran "badbloks -b 4096 /dev/hda9" but no badblocks where found
(there was no output at all).
I've cheked all the other partitions and they have no error. The
partition which gived errors is the only reiserfs on this disk. So,
maybe my disk is damaged, but how can I be sure it isn't a software
problem if neither smartctl and badblocks can find any error? Is there
some other check I can do?
If it can help here is debugreiserfs output on the damaged partition:
