I have a dual Pentium II Xeon 400 machine running Zone Minder (latest
build=
). I=92ve got Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdksmp)
running.=
After a couple of days, the machine crashes and I get the following errors=
:

EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,1)) in ext3_get_inode_write : IO failure

EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,1)) : ext3_get_inode_loc : unable to read
inod=
e block =96 inode =3D 607535, block 1212496

I thought it was a HDD failure but I scanned the drive using a WD utility
t=
hat scans all blocks and it came up clean. Is it likely to be the drive or
=
OS / software? Is there a better low level disk checker out there that can
=
aggressively test the disk?

Thanks,

Paul.
