During storage maintainance a scsi error occured and stopped the ext3 journal.

During a disk change the following error is logged by the kernel: sdc: Current: sense key: Recovered Error <<vendor>> ASC=0xe0 ASCQ=0x6ASC=0xe0 ASCQ=0x6 EXT3-fs error (device sdc1): ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block 75569857 Remounting filesystem read-only I have to reboot and fsck the partition. Recovered Errors sounds like - there was an error, but the storage recovered it, by itself - so wy the ext3 failure occured? The same issue happend on a ubuntu 6.06 lts ( Kernel 2.6.16 ). All debian sarge with kernel 2.4.27 survived the scsi error. Is there a setting, to tell the kernel to retry the read or write operation?
