| |
There's an old Compaq Deskpro 2000 (Pentium MMX 166 MHz, 384M RAM) that's being used as an Internet gateway (NAT) and FTP server for about 200 users. It was previously running that other operating system, and I helped convert it to Linux (Debian 3.0).
There are three disk drives. Two and a half are used for a single ext3 filesystem using LVM. That 140GB partition is only used for FTP.
About 20 hours after mke2fs the first erros started cropping up:
kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #8568833: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1104134607, rec_len=16847, name_len=207 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #8568833: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1104134607, rec_len=16847, name_len=207 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #8650753: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1054162645, rec_len=16093, name_len=213 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #8650753: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1054162645, rec_len=16093, name_len=213 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #8650753: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1503025555, rec_len=22942, name_len=147 [...] kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #8847362: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1861709558, rec_len=28414, name_len=247 [...] kernel: EXT3-fs warning (device lvm(58,0)): empty_dir: bad directory (dir #8830978) - no `.' or `..' kernel: EXT3-fs warning (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_rmdir: empty directory has nlink!=2 (3) [...] kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,0)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #8683521: rec_len is too small for name_len - offset=0, inode=11305005, rec_len=44, name_len=45 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device kernel: 3a:00: rw=0, want=1123713500, limit=154509312 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device kernel: 3a:00: rw=0, want=586860000, limit=154509312 [...]
Unfortunately I noticed this only two days later. e2fsck found *lots* of errors, and it keeps restarting from the beginning for some reason. I'm starting to have doubts if it will ever finish.
Is this an unfortunate interaction between ext3 and LVM, or should I suspect flaky hardware? RAM, disks, IDE cable? There were problems with /dev/hdd earlier that hinted a broken cable (borken model name in hdparm -i), and the cable was replaced with a new one.
I gather from Configure.help that DMA is broken on Via VP2, but it is turned off here. I see only one series of hardware-related messages in syslog:
kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE kernel: ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
But these appeared about 4 hours after the first EXT3 error messages.
The kernel comes from a Debian package (2.4.18-586tsc). LVM also (lvm10-1:1.0.4-4).
