What is the impact of this condition? - Kernel was 2.6.13.4, CONFIG_LBD is not set but CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y (I can provide further details, if required) - S.M.A.R.T meant everything is ok on both disks. - Machine has been rebooted and fscked (180 days without reboot). - Result of this fsck is not known. The condition didn't happen after this anymore. Regards Ingo Oeser -- Ingo Oeser axxeo GmbH Tiestestr. 16, 30171 Hannover Tel. +49-511-4753706 Fax. +49-511-4753716 mailto:support@axxeo.de
