Below is the relevant portion of my dmesg output. I get a status error on my first hard drive (it's a transient thing after a hard reset).
There are a few issues here: The dmesg output does not tell me which partition the error refers to! I can presume that it's related to the error on hda, but as hda has parts of several RAID devices even that doesn't narrow it down much. Can the /proc/reiserfs stuff be used to track this down? Also there's the usual issue of messages having codes "vs-number", is there a reference to what the numbers mean? hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: drive not ready for command is_tree_node: node level 759 does not match to the expected one 2 vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format found in block 16618.
