Hi - relatively inexperienced user here. I installed CentOS 5.2
yesterday (http install via a mirror, worked brilliantly), as well as a
new Seagate 1Tb USB external HDD (from the new Xtreme line), for
backup/media storage.
Using fdisk I put two primary partitions on the Seagate, /dev/sde1 and
/dev/sde2 (roughly half the drive each). Then I used mkfs.ext3 on both
to create ext3 filesystems on those partitions. My fstab entries look
like so:
/dev/sde1 /mnt/seagate1 ext3 rw,user,noexec 0 0
/dev/sde2 /mnt/seagate2 ext3 rw,user,noexec 0 0
I copied some data onto /dev/sde1 and went to bed. This morning, I
found a clump of kernel messages on the console (lightly edited from
/var/log/messages):
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 492896319
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 61612032
kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sde1): ext3_readdir: directory #30801921
contains a hole at offset 0
kernel: Aborting journal on device sde1.
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 12655
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 1574
kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sde1
kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key: Not Ready
kernel: Add. Sense: Logical unit not ready, initializing command
required
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 63
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 0
kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sde1
kernel: ext3_abort called.
kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sde1): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected
aborted journal
kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only
I can guess that I/O means Input/Output, but other than that I'm
flummoxed. My fear is that the Seagate is defective. Can someone point
me in a good direction? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
