/var/log/messages questions

[Michelle Murrain <mpm@murrain.net>]

Hi folks,

2 strange (to me) messages appear in my /var/log/messages file. Any ideas on 
these?

First, simply:

Nov 28 10:41:52 blackbear -- MARK --
Nov 28 11:01:52 blackbear -- MARK --
Nov 28 11:21:52 blackbear -- MARK --
Nov 28 11:41:52 blackbear -- MARK --
Nov 28 12:01:52 blackbear -- MARK --
Nov 28 12:21:52 blackbear -- MARK --          


Every 20 minutes. No, I don't have any cron or at jobs going at this interval.

Second is more disturbing...

Nov 22 06:26:53 blackbear kernel: Directory sread (sector 0x1b) failed
Nov 22 06:26:53 blackbear kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Nov 22 06:26:53 blackbear kernel: 02:00: rw=0, want=14, limit=4

This happened a lot at one point. I can't tell what device it's talking about.

Thanks!
Michelle
