I went to my RedHat 8.0 Samba server (home network) to login and found this on the screen. It was also, of course in the logs. Forgive me if this is a bit long as I have two questions. 1)I have never seen this before and being relatively new to Linux, I am not sure if this is a Hard Drive issue or a system issue. I don't get this all the time, but I have checked some previous logs, and seen this a number of times. It seems to be the same location all the time. My first reaction was a bad sector on the HD, so; A) Is this a Hard Drive issue, a kernel error, or another system error? B) What would be the best course of action? ** One more thing, the hdc refers to a data drive. There is no system files on the drive. ** Sep 28 04:48:53 Zeus kernel: hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 28 04:48:53 Zeus kernel: hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=86840366, high=5, low=2954286, sector=86840296 Sep 28 04:48:53 Zeus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:01 (hdc), sector 86840296 Sep 28 04:48:57 Zeus kernel: hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 28 04:48:57 Zeus kernel: hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=86840366, high=5, low=2954286, sector=86840296 Sep 28 04:48:57 Zeus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:01 (hdc), sector 86840296 Scott S. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
