hi,

I am a system manager in institute of biophysics, Nanjing University, I 
encounter a big problem, seems related to IDE driver, now I am writing for 
your warmly help!

we buy a 32 nodes cluster, each with AMD 2600+, 512M Kingstone ECC 
Registered MEM, MSI K7D master-L motherbord, ST Barracude 7200.7 80G 
harddisk. We installed Redhat Linux 8.0 in it,
and run two programs each cost about 400M mem, thus force kernel use swap 
disk.
then, after several minutes, some nodes crash down,  whereas some nodes can 
run
several hours to two days, varying from computer to computer. we also tried 
readhat
9.0(kernel 2.4.20-9) and debian(kernel 2.4.22), the problem remains the 
same.

here is the typical error message in debian, (in redhat, the error is 
similar)

Attempt to access beyond end of device
03:02: rw=0, want=75368548, limit=7815622
ext2-fs error(device ide0(3:2)): ext2_check_page: bad entry
in directory #2: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0,
inode=1097631760, rec_len=0, name_len=0
remounting filesystem read_only

below is the partition table:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1        12     96358+  83  Linux         /boot
/dev/hda2            13       985   7815622+  83  Linux         /
/dev/hda3           986      1109    996030   82  Linux swap    swap
/dev/hda4          1110      9729  69240150   83  Linux         nouse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

all our 32 nodes encounter similar problems, so I suspect whether
it is caused by some bugs in kernel or elsewhere.
I am looking forward to your warmly help!
Thank you very much!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is the fortran program we used to test the computer:
        program test

        real*8          A(1000,1000,50)

        do while(.true.)

        do i=1,1000
        do j=1,1000
        do k=1,50
                A(i,j,k)=i*j*k
        enddo
        enddo
        enddo

        enddo

        end
