>From dmesg-2: [ 535.243216] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 38039071 [ 535.248144] Aborting journal on device sda1:8. [ 535.265712] EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal [ 535.265727] EXT4-fs (sda1): Remounting filesystem read-only
dmesg-3: [ 997.211783] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 38032023 Looks like the drive has some trouble starting sector 38032023 despite smart saying it has 0 bad sectors. That ext3 is not affected may be just luck. ext3 does no happen to have important data there. You could use badblocks /dev/sda1 to verify that it's bad blocks that are causing trouble. The ubuntu installer does not check for bad blocks when formattiing. If you want to use this drive, i think you will have to manually format (mkfs.ext4 -cc /dev/sda1) and then tell the installer to use the existing file system. -- Unable to install using ext4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
