However, the comment about looking at the logs pointed me to a related issue. I am seeing this in my logs: kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device kernel: dm-0: rw=0, want=4344463064, limit=126550016 Looks like I may have some corruption on the disk. When I get a chance, I'll take it down and run fsck to see if that will help. -- Bowie
