Not sure. I don't think fsck checks every block. The errors I saw certainly
were consistant in location on the LVM, but there were no corrisponding errors
on the hardware. You can try the following

cat /dev/vg.../lvol/... >/dev/null # where vg and lvol are appropriate for your file system.

cat /dev/hd... # were hd is your physical device. If you get errors on one and
# not the other, you too will be an example of the problem we are talking about.

I have not had a chance to try the last suggestion of seeing if I have
problems on an MD device. There has not yet been a solution to the SCSI based
problems.

Have you tried mke2fs with the -c option in LVM and on the drive without
LVM?  I'm seeing a lot of errors on a SCSI disk that has no hardware
problems unless it is in LVM.

Christoph,

I assume that you are suffering from a PE missalignent flaw which was
in 0.9 Beta 7.

Please update to the recent LVM version available at www.sistina.com.
Follow the information in INSTALL and PATCHES/README to get your SuSE system
updated. You need to have the kernel source package and the gcc packages
installed in order to be able to do this.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
