Maybe it's a driver problem. I don't know. Since you said that even fdisk wouldn't run against the volume, the problem has to be below the file system. > I had some data on old fs living on this server, I was able to transfer > some of it, but I discovered that a scp to transfer a directory contents > was failing always at the same byte when reading a file. Reading from the old filesystem? Can you read or copy that file individually? This could be a bad sector on that file system. This might be unrelated to the other problems. > I tried many > combinations of kernel running without smp support, with alternatively > each processor rather than both and this problem is always there.
