Thanks, looks like xfs_repair fixed it. Anyway, does anybody know
what's causing this? Should i be worried?
I believe that the other one that also suffered corruption also had a SMP
machine with a via chipset?
Am I correct, or just mixing things up.
The SMP machine at work uses a ServerWorks Chipset in a Dell 2450. And I
can't provoke it.
Was this on scsi or IDE or even hardware/software Raid ?
There have been some serious DMA issues with via chipsets and IDE.
Get your latest bios in that case (according to the AC diary) which should
fix it.
Don't know what -ac patch this belongs to. I believe 2.4.3 or later. Not sure
If anything is incorrect, shoot.. err... say so.
