I'm using a dell powerall web 120 with scsi drives installed
Using redhat 7.2 with the 2.4.18-19.7.x kernel installed
And when using badblocks on the swap partition I get
Attempt to access beyond end of device
08:06: rw=0, want=1044196, limit=1044193
1044192
done
Pass completed, 1 bad blocks found.
And fdisk reports there to be 1044193+ blocks in the partition ?
I wish to be personally CC'ed any answer / comments..
Thanks a million

Sounds like the partition map is a bit incorrect.
Try running badblocks on the drive itself (/dev/hda, not hda1).
If the problem disappears then it's with the partition map (i'd guess).

Ok I'll give that a try. One other question. If the partitiontable was bad
wouldn't fdisk report a incorrect size for the partitions that are having
the problems ?
Also the system freezes when under a heavy load without giving any error
output. What it does do is report something like 600000% idle time in top

I did a fdisk on the device /dev/sda and it found no bad blocks.
I was given the suggestion from one person it sounds like a kernel bug since
redhat patches their kernels soo much.

That's a good thing - be greatful :)

Could be, try a kernel.org kernel and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, file a bug report with redhat. I would think fdisk would come up with an error on a corrupt partition map, so if it doesn't then ur probably looking at some oddity... try the kernel.org kernel :)
