Fsck? kernel: vs-13070: reiserfs_read_inode2: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat data of [11 618208 0x0 SD] Every day a large filesystem rsyncs to another filesystem for backup/redundancy, and it looks like this coincides with the error listed above. It repeats about 13 times every time rsync runs. It's always the same block number. This filesystem lives on a 3Ware RAID-5 array, and is running a 2.4.20 kernel from RedHat that we cannot upgrade due to hardware and software dependancies. I'm planning on downloading the latest version of the ReiserFS tools, and checking for errors/repairing. Anyone know what this error means, so I have a better idea of what I'm dealing with? I find it strange that I could have a block error on a logical drive (the RAID-5 device). Thanks... --Dan
