 Hi
 
 I have some troubles with a jfs partition on an external USB drive
 (maxtor onetouch 200GB)
 
 I had a jfs related kernel oops (see files below), then rebootet and did
 a fsck which segfaulted:
 http://hacklabs.ch/lanz/jfs_error/jfs_error_fsckh

The segfault is fixed in jfsutils-1.1.7 (you are running 1.1.6).  There
was a bad format string, which tried to print an integer as a string.

http://www10.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/jfs/project/pub/jfsutils-1.1.7.tar.gz

 logs are here:
 http://hacklabs.ch/lanz/jfs_error/
 
 Actually I don't know what I should do now, or not do, because it seems
 something went wrong and I can't access my partition anymore. I didn't
 try to mount or did anyting after the fsck segfault.

I'm not sure what to make of all of the scsi messages:
Current sda: sense key No Sense

I'm not sure if they are any indication of I/O errors or not.  You may
want to try fixing the partition with the 1.1.7 version of jfs_fsck, and
see whether or not the problems go away.

 I have a 2.6.10 vanialla kernel (.config on request)
 
 regards

When I see scsi errors like that I usually run smartctl on the disk
(part of the smarttools).  It will usually tell you exactly what type
of errors occurred on the disk.  In general if smart is telling you
things, the disk is probably dying.

yep. it died this afternoon. it was a Maxtor OneTouch, the second I
have. I threw it fast out of the window my disruption to jfs was not
jfs related; sorry

unfortunately, smart doesn't work with external USB drives, AFAIKS.

thans for your hints either.
