[cobalt-users] Uncorrectable errors on /dev/hda4



Folks,

I've had this happen twice now, where this non-production server, only about 3 months old, experiences a power failure and refuses to reboot.

On connecting a terminal to the Raq, it reports errors in /dev/hda4 which require a manual running of fsck. When I run fsck, it gives errors such as:

"Error reading block 6848706 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error<y>?"

There seem to be dozens of these errors. Does this indicate a hardware problem with the drive? If I ignore all of these errors and continue with fsck, will the integrity of the drive be compromised?

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!!
