Prarit,
I run 2.4.27 on all my machines.
Never had problems but this (if we want to say its not a disk problem)
I have seen on mailing lists many people having this very problem,
always on hdb, with a lot of different kernel and machines.
I have basically two kind of cabinets:
- The 'Antec style' tower
- Racmount cases
Everything well cooled...i am sure bout that.
Always ASUS A7V, Athlon XP 2xxx+, NEVER OVERCLOCKED, of course...
Disks are mainly Maxtor, or IBM
Basically i was wondering whether to swap disks on a server just to try....
....These are the things that rave me mad !
You might see if you can swap positions in the case first, then I guess
you would have nothing to try but actually flipping master with slave
(and contents as well, good fun).
Just wondering, where is your swap? Your Journal? Do you have a small
fast drive you could use for swap and external journal? I checked all
the machines which have a similar configuration, and I don't see any
pattern, although all the machines with really high i/o load are using SCSI.
