<pre>> for the second time in a few days, my /home filesystem<br>> (/dev/fc5/home, the name being a holdover when i was running FC5 under<br>> LVM2 on this system) magically reverted to "read-only" status, forcing
<br>> me to reboot, at which point i was told:<br>><br> "Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list were<br>> found."<br><br>> requiring e2fsck to fix all sorts of apparent corruption.
<br><br>> once is a bit weird, twice is a definite pattern. has anyone else<br>> seen this lately? kernel is 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.<br><br></pre>Yes I did. I got it two days in a row. It turns out that it was DMA disk errors.
<br>The kernel then remount the disk read only.<br><br>Use smartmontools to check your disk status:<br><br>sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/hdx<br><br>There must be some errors logged. <br><br>The cause? Who knows ....<br>
Power supply, old disk, bad stabilizer, bad luck, etc ....<br><br clear="all"><br>/Paulo Roma
