Last night, at about 10:03pm (3 minutes into the nightly innd expiry run),
crasher2 placidly locked up, and the hard drive light locked on.
Watching it for a few minutes, I got error messages like this:
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide0: reset timed-out, status 0xd0
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04, sector 1278481
hda: drive not ready for command
Upon reboot, fdisk gave errors like this:
Inode 159909 (/lib/news/errlog.1.gz) has a bad mode (00).
/dev/hda4: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY - RUN fsck MANUALLY
And then I got a nice, happy-looking slackwareish login prompt.
fsck /dev/hda4 (fortunately) fixed it manually, but I'm wondering what caused
it and if it'll happen again.
