https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238572 ------- Comment #2 from jim@edwardsj7.com 2007-01-25 16:12 MST ------- OK, there are tons of errors sequential from the SCSI subsystem, but they are associated with a DVD drive that is on the other channel of the controller card and only occur once. I am sure they are not associated with the lock-ups :-( The two SCSI drives are denoted sdb and sdc and there are no error messages about sdc (where "/", RFS, is located) or sbd (where "/home", ext3 is). SMART monitoring is enabled on the drives and it says they are healthy. Scanning the log file shows some cases where there appears to be an abnormal start, based upon syslog-ng starting, without an associated "going down" on the line before. Here are a couple of the sets of lines that are like this :- Jan 18 21:34:20 linux smartd[4125]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 54 to 55 Jan 18 21:34:20 linux smartd[4125]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Usage Attribute: 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered changed from 54 to 55 Jan 18 21:47:50 linux syslog-ng[2887]: syslog-ng version 1.6.11 starting Jan 19 16:30:47 linux kernel: klogd 1.4.1, ---------- state change ---------- Jan 19 16:38:14 linux smartd[4122]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 54 to 53 Jan 19 16:38:14 linux smartd[4122]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 32 to 36 Jan 19 16:38:14 linux smartd[4122]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Usage Attribute: 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered changed from 54 to 53 Jan 19 16:53:28 linux syslog-ng[2929]: syslog-ng version 1.6.11 starting As you can see the log entry prior to the restart was not immediately before. Usually I did not allow the system to hang for a long time once I realized what was going on ! I think that as the SCSI drives went off-line there was no record of what was happening :-( When I get a chance I have to look and see if I have a suitably sized, unused partition on either an IDE drive, or the other SCSI drive, to move "/" to as a test.
