Those messages most often indicate a hardware failure of some sort. Most cases turn out to be a loose or bad cable, but it could also be indicative of a bad hard drive or IDE controller.

I had similar problem before, exactly the same log messages, my HD is a Maxtor's DiamondMax ATA, I downloaded Maxtor's powermax utility to test the drive and got a failure report. You'd better to backup your important data as soon as possible.

I've seen those errors about 4 times before, and only once was it the drive. The remaining times it was bad or out of spec cables.

I have seen the file which on bad block on my hard disk, and I could not delete or repair it. Is there any tools or something to delete or repair it.
I tryed "rm" , but it could not delete input/output error files.

What can I do ? pleaseeeeees help .....

$ ls -ls
ls: file1.php: Input/Output error
ls: file2.html: Input/Output error
ls: file3.php: Input/Output error

I want to delete the files. How ????

As Matir suggested, check the cables. Make sure that they are not loose.

Also, try running fsck. You will need to reboot into single user mode, and then run fsck. Hopefully, this will report and fix any errors. Alternativly, reboot using as root. This will force the system to do a fsck when it restarts.

I hope this helps

I have checked the cables and other. But there was not problems.

When I reboot , and startup process is execute and checking root, and about on 42% it will not go and I must single user mode.
Ok, I will try fsck and fdisk.

I searching some tools check and repair bad block on hard.

Sorry, I meant boot into single user mode, and run fsck, not fdisk. fdisk was a typo

OK, thank u IBall.

You know about command "badblocks" on linux ?

See This website.

Use this command (It is not recomended to use badblocks directly)
Assuming that hda1 is the faulty hard disk.

You will need to use a rescue CD to do this though. If you are using Fedora, the first install cd can be used for this. Boot from the CD, and then type "linux rescue" at the prompt.

I hope this helps

Thks IBall

I could not do anything, because, I have not time, my client was waiting, and I install new OS other hard disk. But I have old one, so i will try, when i have a time, Thk u very much for advice.
