Hi!

Does anyone know what could have happened?

> Nov 3 06:42:50 fileserver kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 037f1a10
isn't free.
> Nov 3 06:42:52 fileserver last message repeated 1581 times

And our fileserver was dead.. This has now happened the second time...

Our configuration:

- Gigabyte HX Board, Cyrix P 166, 64 MB RAM
- Linux Kernel 2.0.35, based on Debian 1.3 distribution
- tulip PCI 100Mbit ethernet card
- PCI NCR U-Wide SCSI controller with 6 UW-disks connected
- Adaptec 1505 ISA SCSI-Controller with 1 DDS3-DAT tape connected
- server is running samba
- no other (kernel) patches applied.

Server running 24h a day, last action before breakdown was scheduled backup
on DAT-tape, which was successfully completed.

Thanks for any hint...

Tschuellewuess, Meinereiner!
