We have a remote warm standby system running CentOS-6.8 as a KVM
system with multiple guests. One of the guests began reporting an
error when running aide.
Caught SIGBUS/SEGV while mmapping. File was truncated while aide was
running?
Caught SIGBUS/SEGV. Exiting
The /var/log/messages file contained this:
Mar 9 09:14:13 inet12 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector
14539264
Mar 9 09:14:31 inet12 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector
14539296

. . .
This indicated that a bad sector on the underlying disk system might
be the source of the problem. The guests were all shutdown, a
/forcefsck file was created on the host system, and the host system
remotely restarted.
However, this action did not remove the error. The host system log
files had this to say about fsck:
/var/log/messages:Mar 9 08:34:48 vhost03 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-6):
warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
in /dev I see this:
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 253, 6 Mar 9 08:34 dm-6
But, this device has nothing whatsoever to do with the kvm guests:
ll /dev/vg_vhost03/ | grep dm-6
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 9 08:34 lv_centos_repos -> ../dm-6
Rather this is an lv devoted to holding CentOS ISOs:
/dev/mapper/vg_vhost03-lv_centos_repos
101016992 77160124 18718848 81% /var/data/centos
So, my questions are:
1. How do I fix the problem with the guest system that Aide is
stumbling over?
2. How do I get the fsck issue with dm-6 resolved?
