[CentOS] Re: EXT3 fs error on RAID1 device

Hi-

Rasmus Back:

I have a Dell SC440 running Centos 4.4. It has two 500GB disks in a RAID1 array using linux software raid (md1 is / and md0 is /boot). Recently the root file system was remounted read-only for some reason.

I had the very same behavior on a RAIDI set on an Areca controller (but no software RAID or VMWare). Scary.

I believe if you have the WD drives, it could also be a hardware issue... look:

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=37188 http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n&pid=15&swid=57

Affects 500GB drives. In that particular situation, dmesg said:

EXT3-fs error gone raid volume device dm-0 error reading directory

Then the / volume remounted itself RO while also reporting 100% usage..
