I woke up this morning and turned my computer on. It just sat there while
trying to mount an NFS share on my server computer. So I turned on the server
monitor to find lots of lines of error explanation... I couldn't copy and
paste them, as the computer wouldn't do anything. I didn't feel like writing
it all out by hand either. But I did get another error on a different VTT.
Device 08:02 not ready
I/O error: dev 08:02, sector 944920
So umm... I have two SCSI drives in here, my uptime was over 52 days, and it
has been quite cool here, as far as room temperature goes.
Now, my question is, since I am using ReiserFS, could another filesystem type
have recovered from this? I could still hit enter and get a new prompt, but
if I put any commands in, if just didn't do anything (pico, uptime, ifconfig,
etc).
Or am I totally off here?
And how do I know what device 08:02 really is?
Thanks!

08=major number
02=minor number
In the old-style device assignments before devfs it would mean this
08 = SCSI drives 0 minor is first, 16 minor is second etc
so 08:02 is SCSI drive first, partition 2 -- that is where the sector
error is. It is likely permanent.
(yes, it is a little-known fact that partitions on a SCSI drive are
limited to 15 while on an IDE they are limited to 63 per drive.)
