Hi there,
I am running Debian3.1 with kernel 2.6.8-2-386 on a Dell Laptop. I am using it
as a remotely accessed always-on server. It seems to run quite well, but
sometimes after a few months, I get a "dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20"
error the file system (reiserFS) resets itself into readonly mode. I get all
sorts of Input/Output errors and I can't even reboot the box.
Is this showing that the disk is bad? It seems not to be as it is working fine
for months before getting the DMA errors. Is there anything I can configure to
avoid these problems? Is there a kernel modification, or fstab/hdparm command,
or other filesystem that I should use that will prevent the drive going into
read-only mode?
Thank you for any help!
