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

Buffer I/O error on device sdb, l ...: 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
