had to ask. My Seagate 160GB (ST3160023A) had a single jfs partition on it. It started making the kernel extremely busy with i/o errors. On reboot, all fsck's fail. I saw someone else's note about this drive being sensitive to inadequate power supplies, so I tried it on a server box.
fsck.jfs version 1.1.7, 22-Jul-2004 processing started: 6/13/2006 22.54.37 Using default parameter: -p The current device is: /dev/hdc1 Open(...READ/WRITE EXCLUSIVE...) returned rc = 0 Primary superblock is valid. The type of file system for the device is JFS. Block size in bytes: 4096 Filesystem size in blocks: 39072080 **Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log LOGREDO: Log already redone! logredo returned rc = 0 **Phase 1 - Check Blocks, Files/Directories, and Directory Entries Unrecoverable error reading M from /dev/hdc1. CANNOT CONTINUE. Fatal error (-10015,30) accessing the filesystem (1,2702950400,16384,0). processing terminated: 6/13/2006 22:55:09 with return code: -10015 exit code: 8. It will mount but all access even in basedir hangs. Can I skip "M" and go on to "N"? ; ) Is there any hope? Even if I have lost the filesystem, does it look like the hard drive is bad? Yes there's a bunch of "READ DMA EXT" errors in SMART. Guessing it's worse than just bad blocks...
