First off: Hi! I'm new to this list. Googling some of the errors in
my logs brought up several posts to this list, none of which led to
any obvious resolutions, so I thought I'd try joining the list...
I have a linux server[1] that has been acting as an asterisk pbx for
about three months without a problem. Today, the SATA hard drive
suddenly went into read-only mode (!?). Reading seems to work just
fine, as I've ssh'd in and looked at a bunch of files, including
/var/log/messages [2].
Is this just my hardware failing? Could this a kernel bug?
Recommendations? I would just reboot the thing, but asterisk is still
successfully handling dozens of calls right now, despite not being
able to write to the disk...
