Is my hard drive FUBAR, or is it dpkg?
I've started getting messages like the following from upgrading
packages:
Do you want to install the files fetched [y]:
Installing files...
(Reading database ... 28597 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace xbase 3.3.2-2 (using .../x11/xbase_3.3.2-3.deb) ...
xdm and xfs not running, continuing with xbase installation.
Unpacking replacement xbase ...
dpkg: error processing debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/x11/xbase_3.3.2-3.deb (--install):
error flushing `usr/X11R6/lib/X11/x11perfcomp/fillblnk': No space left on device
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
but the /usr partition has over 400M free:
[root@everybody:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/x11perfcomp]# df . 7:09PM
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2 1486371 931336 478226 66% /usr
and the file doesn't appear to be corrupted:
[root@everybody:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/x11perfcomp]# ls -la . 7:09PM
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 7 19:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 Apr 7 19:08 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 424 Mar 25 20:58 fillblnk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 784 Mar 25 20:58 perfboth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 723 Mar 25 20:58 perfratio
so what's going on? This is on a 2.0.33 machine. Should I downgrade
the kernel? Is the hard drive dying?
I noticed in /var/log/kernel.log that there are lots of messages
like the following:
Free blocks count corrupted for block group 17
Apr 7 18:57:49 everybody kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_new_block:
Free blocks count corrupted for block group 17
Apr 7 18:58:22 everybody kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_new_block:

Apr 7 19:06:10 everybody kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_new_block:

Apr 7 19:06:34 everybody last message repeated 4 times
Apr 7 19:08:27 everybody kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_new_block:
Free blocks count corrupted for block group 17
which seems to suggest SOMETHING horrible is wrong.
What do I do?
