At the moment I cannot think of a great subject that will catch everyone's
attention. :)
This morning when I sat down to my computer to see if some work I left for
it to think (compile) on had gone smoothly, I noticed that although
applications, under X, were still active, I was unable to start any new
applications.
I was able to flip over to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1). Ctrl-ScrlLock gave me
pages of processes running. Except for a few processes that I knew were
running, most of the processes were xinted. I assume that the computer
had used up all of the process slots which is why I was unable to logon at
the console or start-up another xterm.
Come to think about it, before I went to bed, I was unable to start qps
(Qt process utility) to view the running process. I thought about looking
at it in the morning when I woke up. I don't know if the SCSI errors
caused the problem or something else did. The first SCSI error was well
after I had gone to bed and had had trouble with qps.
After rebooting (hard reboot), fsck proceeded to inform me that one of my
partitions needed serious checking.
Here are the assortment of errors syslog saved for me from the night
before:
...

After about 12 minutes of this, the file system decided to join in feeling
that it had been left out:
...

The odd thing is that last week I had just scanned the drive for bad
blocks and repartitioned it.

I hope I gave enough to go on; I am also including a full section of my
log file (gzipped). I doubt any hardware problems, but I can't guarantee
that my hardware is fully functional. Almost everything in this computer
has been replaced due to hardware problems. At this point I would rather
see a kernel bug. :(
If there are any questions, just ask.
Thanks,
Sean
P.S. Looking for pity. :) Here is my system and what I had to replace
since I first purchased it:
SuperMicro P55CMS w/P100 and 16Meg --> All DOA!
Conner 1060W --> Firmware patch failed
Iiyama 8617 --> Blurring
#9 771 --> Memory error
Plextor 12Plex --> Power failed
Plextor 12Plex --> Awful noise
Logitech Mouseman --> Button 1 died
Fortunately, they were all within the warranty period from the
manufacturers. It is still a pain. If any piece fails outside of
warranty, hand me a shotgun and stand back!
