I have found that /var/log/kern.log has following messages (when trying to access blocks above 137GB, using e.g. badblocks): Jul 29 00:41:02 jojda kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Jul 29 00:41:02 jojda kernel: SCSI device sda: 490234752 512-byte hdwr sectors (251000 MB) Jul 29 00:41:03 jojda kernel: sda: sda1 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435456 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435456 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435472 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435456 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435456 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 268435464 Jul 29 00:47:41 jojda last message repeated 3 times I have found where these are coming from (drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c) but it's in fairly generic error routine that is called from number of places so it doesn't explain anything to me... (I'll take a look at it again but considering that I have almost zero experience with kernel programming it probably will not be very useful) this is using linux-2.4.21-ac4 kernel (scsi sata, as above messages show) erik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
