RE: [TCLUG:10633] strange errors in messages file

Thanks for the help.  I figured there must be a program like "scandisk" for
linux.  I ran e2fsck and several errors came up that I had fixed.  We'll see
if this helps.

Sounds like you have some bad blocks on your disk. You can run e2fsck
-c, which runs the badblocks program to find any blocks which are bad
and adds them to the bad block inode.

man e2fsck(8)
man badblocks(8)
