Problem: I get massive ext3 errors once every few days. See "errors on console" section below. Almost all commands return I/O error. I have to power cycle the machine to get it running again. Upon reboot, there are usually 3 orphan inodes deleted and everything is fine. See "messages on reboot" below.
Configuration: System: Dell PowerEdge 6300/500, 4 CPU SMP w/2GB memory Discs: 3 SCSI discs in a controller-managed striped configuration Controller: Dell PERC-2 kernel messages in "kernel boot messages" below
Other: I had this problem before. I upgrade the card firmware to 2.8/build 6809, but still the same issue. I tried with the 2.4.29 kernel (aacraid driver v 1.1-3) from the Slackware (10?) distribution and then I upgraded to 2.4.31. It has the same driver version and same problem. Running fsck always shows everything is fine (rc=0).
Does anybody have experience with this machine working well? If so, what combination of kernel and firmware version?
Or does anybody know the root cause of the occasional massive ext3 errors or what I can do to test and/or fix it?
Please cc me jbalint-at-gmail as I am not on the list. Thanks. Jess
