Hello you all, I've just installed a brand new slug and drive (both of them were not used before, they've gone from the box to the current state).
The Drive is a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 320gb plugged into the USB1. I've formatted it through the debian install with 2 primary partitions, one of 319.5 ext3 and the other 512 for swap. I've followed the steps on (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/). I've used the latest firmware from (http://www.slug-firmware.net/) debian-etch-rc2-20070308. I haven't installed anything but the base system in the install guide and samba. But even before installing samba the following happened, when I leave the system (slug+drive) unattended, when I come back the volume is remounted read-only (/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)) and I get the following on dmesg: sd 0:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2 ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 219562047 Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 27445248 lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 Aborting journal on device sda1. ext3_abort called. EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal Remounting filesystem read-only sd 0:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2 ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 624031612 sd 0:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2 ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 624035708 It happened 3 times, I'm still researching what's wrong, after the problem I run fsck and It report no errors. Right now I'm running e2fsck to check for badblocks, until now (60%) it also didn't report any errors until now, as I said earlier it's a brand new drive. I'm not a very deep hardware specialist, but could it be a problem of for some kind of "new feature" of the drive it turns off something and when the system makes a call it fails? I've searched all the day for some problem like mine and didn't find anything. If someone has any idea where I can start looking for something please tell. All the other log files are ok, nothing is being reported anywhere. Regards, Jose Muanis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
