My computer hanged up and I couldn't even as a root do anything. I wasn't able to print processes working on my machine. After hardware reboot (system hanged up when killing processes on shutdown) I saw that on my system logs was a lot of lines like this: Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x0000478c) Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: File system has been set read-only Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x0000ff30) Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:56:47 webprog kernel: fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) Jun 8 23:57:22 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:57:22 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x00008000) Jun 8 23:57:22 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:57:22 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x00000e0d) Jun 8 23:58:26 webprog kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev fd0) Jun 8 23:58:26 webprog kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x00007872) As you can see 4-6 messages per second! For me it's a kernel bug. But maby there is some solution not to repeat this situation? Sorry for my English - I still learning. Regards Mateusz Marzantowicz
