My recently installed CentOS 4.3 system (which is the kickstart server for other systems -- see other thread) is currently hung. I can ping it, but can't do much of anything else. When I switch to one of the virtual consoles, I can briefly see the "login:" prompt, but then that window immediately fills with up with the following message:
EXT3-fs error (devive dm-0) in start_transaaction: Journal has aborted
Is it a SATA disk ? I was reading a thread on WHT a few days ago about a server that kept getting its filesystem corrupted in that way, and was only solved (for good) after replacing the SATA cable.
Coincidentally, I've just had a Dell Poweredge 2650 with SCSI disks start blurting these exact same errors to the console today.
I've given it a kick and it's come back OK, if it started playing up again, I'll have a look at the disk seating (all SCA) etc.
Will.
