Disk Error

["Sam Hamilton" <sam@theqube.net>]

I am having a really bad couple of days, got back from working away for a
few days to find my server locked up.

Its basic function is a samba server for all my files.
On first view I thought it was due to samba, so after looking at the log
file decided that it was a good time to upgrade my version and installed the
latest version 2.2.8a and rebooted.

fsck then told be to rerun manually, which I did 3 times until it told me
not to rerun again.

Rebooted back into multi-user mode - all appeared fine until the
"uncorrectable data error" messages started coming up on screen.

Then my virus checker goes off and I find on one of my workstations I have
bugbear virus in a few files!

Not a good day!

What can be done about this "uncorrectable data error" - is it possible to
get the fs to ignore this part of the disk?

Please note that this is not the whole file - its is over 50 pages long and
did not think it wise to attach it all.


I have attached these logs just for background info, there have not been any
more samba errors since I upgraded
