This bug-report does not contain enough information to analyze your problem.


Please attach complete  dmesg output  (Add an attachment)
Fill in version of your installed packages.
What kind of application have you started?
(Steps to Reproduce)
Is it repeatable ?
Is the hw working properly?

Comment 3 Zdenek Kabelac 2011-08-31 09:05:05 UTC
From the message log - your system has been in heavily broken state already at the beginning of this log - i.e. Aug 21.
 
This most probably lead to very serious filesystem data corruption.

Configuration of  dm devices is probably wrong:

kernel: dm-0: rw=0, want=2249180728, limit=2147483648

Wasn't there someone doing some device resize operation without resize of filesystem living on this device?

Also still info about package version of  lvm/dm tools is missing.

Also you need to find out on which day the error started to happen. It's before Aug 21. One you find it in the log   cut&paste surrounding info (no need to upload another multi megabyte file)

Bug looks like duplicate of  bug 696807.

Unfortunately there is also not a lot of info.

Comment 6 Sachin 2011-08-31 10:02:53 UTC
I found out following errors in old msg files,

Aug 17 17:40:59 P618XISDLP kernel: EXT3-fs warning (device cciss/c0d0p9): dx_probe: Unrecognised inode hash code 36

Below is the first time when file system got in to read only mode,

Comment 7 Zdenek Kabelac 2011-08-31 11:06:56 UTC
Ok - could you attach output of 'sosreport'  command tool?

I think it would be also helpful to have the full look from Aug 17 (if it's the first day when this error has been noticed) ?


Could you also better describe system configuration?


Looks quite similar to this problem:
