It's time to resurrect this thread from way back in June.

I suspect this is more of a HW problem rathan a SW one.

About two years ago I had a similar EXT3 fs failure case to develop on a server running Mandrake Linux. My case was due to the fact that this desktop Linux computer had two HDs, where one of them (a Quamtum, top unit on the stack) got overheated because of the heat emitted by the bottom unit (a Maxtor). I tried using a recue CD disk to fix the data errors and limped along for approximately three months. But I but did not manage to pin down the problem till the top HD eventually died and noticed that it was burning hot!

So, open the box while it is still running now and feel around to find if something is wrong.
