I've just found this in the daily security output of my workstation (running 2.6.1) :
Checking setuid files and devices: find: /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/sysinfo/CVS/Entries: Input/output error find: /usr/pkgsrc/devel/avltree/CVS/Entries: Input/output error find: /usr/pkgsrc/security/p5-Crypt-RSA/CVS/Entries: Input/output error find: /usr/pkgsrc/ham/dpbox/CVS/Entries.Log: Input/output error find: /usr/pkg/openoffice.org: Input/output error find: /usr/pkg/openoffice.org3: Input/output error These directories can no longer be used: # cd /usr/pkg # ls -ld o* ls: openoffice.org: Input/output error ls: openoffice.org3: Input/output error I'm not sure if this is due to a bug in HAMMER or to some sort of hardware failure. The hard disk is a 500GB Western Digital Green model with a single hammer version 4 volume. The directories belong to the root fs. Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on PFS500GP 460G 400G 60G 87% / There's no relevant error message in dmesg. Is there any tool I can use to diagnose and fix this problem ? -- Francois Tigeot
