Jeff,
Since you posted the start of the thread "Corruption w/ 2.3.41-pre2"
to l-k, I was hoping you could forward this for me so it gets into the
thread (I peruse l-k via a web archive only).
--SNIP--
I've been seeing sporadic filesystem corruption under 2.3.x for the
last few kernels (upto and including 2.3.40). Usually appears during
times of high disk activity, such as a daily Debian update.
Corruption shows up overnight, when files that were rm'd and newly
installed as part of the upgrade are listed by find as having
"Input/Output error".
It is impossible to remove, view, or examine such files. fsck'ing the
disk simply removes them, at which point I can reinstall the package
they belong to, and all appears well.
The system is a Tyan Thunder dual PII-300, the disk affected is a
Seagate SCSI on the onboard Adaptec AIC-7895.
If anyone needs more information, feel free to send me mail.
