I am trying to troubleshoot a SuSE File Server (9.x) that kept kicking 
samba connections off -- the connection would drop and then return a 
few seconds later. A scrolling of /var/log/messages reveals this 
ominous looking bit of gibberish, starting roughly the same time that 
these dropped connections began, and repeating every two to five 
minute:

Feb  8 12:02:48 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete Error }
Feb  8 12:02:48 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40 { 
UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=6689920, sector=6689919
Feb  8 12:02:48 linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, sector 
6689919
Feb  8 12:02:48 linux kernel: ReiserFS: hdb1: warning: vs-13070: 
reiserfs_read_locked_inode: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat 
data of [7863 8447 0x0 SD]

In a fun twist, one of the windows users on the network has been 
complaining of strange behavior where when she tries to save a  
particular file it "goes nuts" -- unable to save the file, it was doing 
something (they had a hard time describing this) where it creates a lot 
of versions with more and more tildes added on.

I can never resist rebooting a machine, so I figured "heck, reboot." 
and got this error:

fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda4 failed (status 0x10) Run manually!

trying to run fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda[1-3] generated no errors or 
information whatsoever.

I am somewhere between alarmed and confused.

thanks,
amanda
