I'm getting this message in my logwatch email notification:
--------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present sdb:<3>Buffer I/O error on device sdb, l ...: 2 Time(s) Buffer I/O error on device sdb, l ...: 12 Time(s) hde: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStat ...: 12 Time(s) hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ...: 12 Time(s)
---------------------- Kernel End -------------------------
It's an old drive I'm using for swap space, /var, and /tmp. (It's on a PCI IDE controller, that's why it comes up as hde.)
If I test it for bad sectors using Vivard, there are no bad sectors found or remapped.
I'm just trying to move a lot of regular disk I/O from my main drive with the root installtion on it, to a replaceable spare.
I cannot find which log file these messages are going to.
Nothing in /var/log/dmesg or messages.
Where does logwatch get these messages from?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
