I’m fairly new to the group and am quite pleased to
see such an active group in the area! Now I could use some advice…. I have a standard cable connection in my home and a machine
running Mandrake 9.1 setup as a gateway.
To summarize, it does NAT, hosts my website, fetches my email and scans
it with spamassassin, serves up mail through imaps, etc. I
don’t use the thing much directly. I suspect there’s a problem with the hard drive. Periodically the machine will simply freeze,
leaving no clues in the log files. Upon reboot, fsck
is very unhappy and produces the following type of output to fix approximately
30 errors: Device: Inode X, i_blocks is Y, should be Z. FIXED. and… Inode X, i_size is Y, should be Z. FIXED It’s a western digital 60gb
5400 rpm drive, and about a year ago I had to send mine back for a replacement
because it died. I tried scanning this
one with the WD diagnostic utility on a windows machine, but I am hesitant to
erase the drive as some of the tests require. So far no trouble has been found. What sort of problem does this sound like? How can I further diagnose it? Thanks for your advice! Michael Hrivnak |
