I/O errors
A few days ago I found a file that gave a "Input/output error" when I tried
doing ls or rm or whatever on it. When rebooting in order to run fsck linux
didn't manage to umount the filesystem this file was on ("device is busy"
after all the processes were killed!). On startup the filesystem had major
inode problems, probabely due to the computer shutting down whith the
filesystem mounted. Once they were fixed the problem file was fine - it can
now be read, moved.
I found another file today which has the same problem - "Input/output
error". This is not good. Any idea what's going on? Both files are mail
folders used by an IMAP server.
I should also mention that the harddisk gives a lot of "recovered scsi i/o
errors". Is it time for a new harddisk?
