Hello folks
A client's Debian-based HP Proliant server suddenly decided to put make
some of its partitions read-only the other day -- see the syslog extract
below.
I need to work out whether it's a problem with the SATA disk drive, or
the controller, or whatever, and I can't make head or tail of the error
codes -- googling hasn't been much help.
And the server is a production machine that the client can't live
without, so I can't run tests very easily.
Can anyone point me to some information about SATA error codes, so that
I can begin to make a diagnosis?
My first thought is to replace the hard drive, but I don't know if that
would solve anything.
cheers
Chris
