Problem: kernel 2.4.23 - rootfs mounted read-only



Dear all,

when returning back to work after the Xmas-break, my root-file system
was mounted read-only.  However, I have no idea why this happened --
and problems fixing it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Checking my logs, I found:

Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel]
Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20
Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: drive not ready for command
Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Dec 25 02:54:00 [kernel] hda: timeout waiting for DMA
Dec 25 02:54:01 [kernel] ide0: reset: success
Dec 25 02:54:03 [kernel] blk: queue c02cfde0, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)

and

Dec 26 02:50:00 [kernel] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x20
Dec 26 02:50:00 [kernel] ide0: reset: success

and

Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=972554, block=1966176
Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] Remounting filesystem read-only
Dec 30 07:35:52 [kernel] EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

Trying to remount the rootfs rw yields

# mount -o remount,rw /
mount: block device /dev/hda2 is write-protected, mounting read-only

# uname -a
Linux komsys-pc-ruf 2.4.23 #1 Tue Dec 2 17:34:37 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
# uptime
 12:10:54 up 30 days, 17:58,  8 users,  load average: 0.71, 1.37, 1.50

Does anybody know whether this means: the disk is about to die....

wbr,
Lukas
