Hello Alexander,
This report suggest that your hard-disk sdb has some problem with some sectors.
/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest access most of the directories in /usr, so
if some of them is stored in the broken sectors, then hardware trouble can
happen
even if the box seems to work correctly (because the broken directories are not
very
important.
You can try to do
find /usr -depth -print
and see whether it triggers the problem and at which files.
You can also boot an older kernel and see whether you can reproduce the problem.
However, there is not much we popularity-contest maintainers can do for you,
we are not kernel experts.
Cheers,
Hello Bill,
thanks for the quick reply. Actually today I've noticed the same problem
on a different and unrelated box but with the same 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel
(first was a VPS box, latter is a physical one). I've even tried your
suggestion using find on both boxes but I can't reproduce the problem.
I'll wait for a good maintenance window to try out if with an older
kernel it can be reproduced.
Cheers,
