OK, I'm still trying to solve this. Though the server has been up rock steady, but the errors concern me. I built this on a test box months ago and now that I am thinking, I may have built it originally on a drive of a different manufacturer, although about the same size (20g). This may have something to do with it. What is the easiest way to get these errors taken care of? I've tried e2fsck, and also ran fsck on Vol00. Looks like I made a fine mess of things. Is there I wasy to fix it without reloading Centos?
