fsck has lots of errors reading block 24251xx (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error (y)?
Force rewrite (y)?
Sometimes there is other output mixed in:
[8222.00061] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 .bunch of hex.frozen [8222.00124] ata1.00 cmd ..bunch of hex.. in [8222.00264] res ..bunch of hex..(timeout) [8222.00124] ata1.00: status: {DRDY}
What is going on and what should i do?
Update: I found out about the second part. It is a Libata error message from the kernal indicating that the drive wasn't responding to a command in time. This piece of advice will supposedly help with that [i'll let you know how it goes once i get past fsck]
In particular, timeouts may be solved by acpi=off or 'noapic' or pci=nomsi or pci=biosirq.
